    Hi, Great program! Like another poster, I seem to be having trouble with
    scaling. in 3.2.1, in other words, the text is misaligned with some of
    the buttons.

    Can you confirm this is on the to-do list please? TIA.

    Thanks. I'm afraid this is a hard problem, it seems that Windows 11 is not honoring the application default setting not to scale UI, when OS is using a scaling factor above 100%.

    You may try in application properties, compatibility, or in advanced scale configuration,
    to disable application scaling. I hope you find a way to fix it, I have not yet.

    Hello! Thnx for the quick response!

    I'm not using Win11, so don't have those settings. The program displays fine if I set scaling to 100%. But then everything else on my desktop is too small!

    Not to worry, your program still works great as is.

    Once again, thanks for all your hard work.

    edit: Upon looking at the requirements again, I see Visual C++ 2010 listed, I don't have that installed, I have instead, 2012 and 2015-2022, would that make a difference?

      Interesting, because I use Windows 10 and after setting a 125% scale factor at 1920x1080, it does not trigger application wrong scaling.

      Visual C++ should not affect application layout.

    Ah, maybe it's because i'm still using Windows 7 then! (yes, I should have said earlier!)

    Having said that, all my other programs are fine...

    Is it possible to incorporate a dropdown menu with settings for different scaling factors?

    Right now such a time consuming customization is out of the question due the lack of time/resources. Maybe in the future.

    One last question, have you tried decreasing UI font size?

    Hi, sorry was busy with my own little program (i'm a learner).

    It seem to change the text in the boxes, but not on the buttons.

    Now I have some clue, I could just increase buttons width when main window is resized, I'll give it a thought for next releases. Thanks
