Yup !

All apps created with PureBasic also have the same problem with the toolbar regardless of icon size used.
Icons in the menubar also have the same problem.

I wanted to post before Fred finalized version 5.73 but I didn't have time. :oops:

You may try out the trick of spreadz in the 2nd link of kurzer:

spreadz wrote:

Right click the program shortcut,
Select Properties > Compatibility > Change high DPI settings
Check the "Override high DPI scaling behaviour" box
Change the "performed by" from Application to System
Click "OK"
Click "Apply"

But you should be aware that after applying this trick the compiler will also be affected and report wrong DPI settings (as Little John remarked in the posting following spreadz' posting).

It will also make your interface look terrible.
Icons and fonts will be blurry because they are now stretched.
