Blurry PB Editor on Windows 10, manifest file needs updating

Post by Roger Hågensen »

PureBasic use a older (Windows 8.1?) manifest file. Due to this Windows will resize PureBasic's windows on high DPI displays (or if you set DPI scaling in the system to 125 for example).

A quick fix (for the user) is to toggle the compatibility checkmark option in the properties of the PB executable. But each time the executable is replaced/updated the flag will reset.

But ideally PB should have a manifest with the Win10 compatibility identifier, and get the DPI from the system and scale it's fonts etc accordingly.
