I hope to hell I can

@jkbbwr You could run a single screen or virtual desktop in lower res perhaps, but that's a pain

It might be possible to backport the fix, but I guess there is a reason they didn't do that.

itd also be a pain to do

I wonder how intellij do it

IntelliJ is not based on JavaFX, but rather on Swing, where this has been fixed.

The discussion here (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26182460/javafx-8-hidpi-support) leads to a suggestion to do all your sizing in

em

units, and points to this discussion about doing that in general (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23229149/javafx-automatic-resizing-and-button-padding)

@kastork It's not just our own elements that are being scaled incorrectly, even the window and cursor etc is wrong.

But can't you apply CSS to those things?

No, not at that level.

You can't CSS style the trim for a Window, for example.

Thats really crap doing code changes for a framework issue like that

I seem to recall a windows situation where we ended up hacking the jdk so it wouldn't report itself to be HiDPI aware. This was on windows, and it was a matter of setting a value in a property file (the hack was that the property was buried in a jar or something, I don't recall the details)

😕

this makes using the scene builder a pain in the ass

I think we'll just have to live with this for a few more months.

its been like 2 years lol

Yeah, I know 🙂

even java9 doesnt work I just tried it

Take that back

Works

@edvin can you apply CSS to an

UNDECORATED

stage/window?

@kastork are you headed in this direction? https://courses.bekwam.net/public_tutorials/bkcourse_flatwinapp_1.html

That's what I was looking at, yes

what's an example style you'd like to set?

I'm just brainstorming about the hidpi problem @jkbbwr and @edvin were discussing

I can use java9 if I can fix gradle

and the notion of dimensioning everything via CSS using ems instead of pixels

@kastork Yeah, you could create your own trim I guess 🙂

@jkbbwr what's the gradle issue?
