@edvin interesting about hidpi.... also, I didn't know that tornadofx doesn't work with java 9. Is that mentioned somewhere?

heck, for that matter, I wish I had known to use oracle java instead of openjdk, too

@shodan45 No, Java 9 support is not mentioned anywhere 🙂 We'll convert to Java 9 eventually, once they iron out the bugs that were introduced with regards to JavaFX. They moved some packages around and closed down some previously public APIs, so we need to shift things around a little. There are also a few show stopper issues that needs workarounds due to the change in API in Java 9.

(I'm not a java dev, and I'm still learning kotlin, so maybe a lot of this is common knowledge)

The thing is, since we're writing Kotlin, there is really not much to gain from running it on Java 9 at all, so we're not in a hurry to switch.

ah, understood

following that stackoverflow link, I see this API: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/stage/Screen.html#getDpi--

how do I get a screen object from tornadofx?

or should I just keep on following the guide because I'll get to that eventually?

@shodan45 You can do

Screen.primary

from anywhere 🙂

Haha!

There is also

Screen.screens

🙂

This is standard JavaFX though, nothing TornadoFX specific about it.

I'm getting all different kinds of DPIs, depending on what interface I ask 😕

sighs

@shodan45 As far as I understand it, there is no workaround in Java 8 for Linux

@edvin I think the problem goes deeper than java 😉

@shodan45 Well, it works in Java 9 🙂

I'm fairly sure my DPI is 276, however I get various different numbers from my OS

Why, whenever I embed an image, does it display scaled up? I know I can scale it down but it's still kinda blurry...

@Juan That would probably depend on how you display it. Post some code 🙂

@edvin

imageview(resources.image("logo.png"))

@Juan You can set

preserveRatio

together with

fitWidth

and

fitHeight

to control this.

@edvin Thank you it works 😄

Great :))

I upgraded TornadoFX to 1.1.60 earlier today 🙂

How can I use rgba? I want to use a translucent background color

@abhinay That worked great
