There's now updated build which adds hidpi support for Java 8 as well: https://sourceforge.net/projects/squirrel-sql/files/experimental/hires_icons_2/ There are few possible details for making it effective with Java 8: 1. On Windows one may have to adjust the Java executable (javaw.exe) properties like: javaw.exe Properties / Compatibility / Change High DPI settings https://i.imgur.com/jjpDgfI.png High DPI scaling override / Scaling performed by: Application https://i.imgur.com/a5msK7m.png 2. With some L&Fs such as the built-in Metal and Nimbus one may need to manually adjust font sizes via the SQuirreL Global Preferences / Fonts: https://sourceforge.net/p/squirrel-sql/git/_discuss/thread/143ec88272/0cb1/attachment/squirrel-metal-fonts-java8.png This is not generally necessary with JGoodies Plastic, for example. Note on Java 8 hidpi support: Even with SQuirreL icons and SQuirreL specific UI scaled appropriately certain UI elements such as scroll-bars may not be scaled appropriately by the used L&F – compare JGoodies Plastic on Java 8 and Java 9: Java 8: https://sourceforge.net/p/squirrel-sql/git/_discuss/thread/143ec88272/0cb1/attachment/squirrel-plastic-object-tree-java8.png Java 9+: https://sourceforge.net/p/squirrel-sql/git/_discuss/thread/143ec88272/0cb1/attachment/squirrel-plastic-object-tree-java9.png For full hidpi support/experience one may use FlatLaf [1]: Java 8: https://sourceforge.net/p/squirrel-sql/git/_discuss/thread/143ec88272/0cb1/attachment/squirrel-flatlaf-object-tree-java8.png Java Java 9+: https://sourceforge.net/p/squirrel-sql/git/_discuss/thread/143ec88272/0cb1/attachment/squirrel-flatlaf-object-tree-java9.png FlatLaf could be set up for use via the user "extralafs.properties" [2]: # https://www.formdev.com/flatlaf/ classname0=com.formdev.flatlaf.FlatLightLaf jars0=flatlaf-0.42.jar classname1=com.formdev.flatlaf.FlatDarkLaf jars1=flatlaf-0.42.jar Find more details and screenshots in the merge request: https://sourceforge.net/p/squirrel-sql/git/merge-requests/57 [1] https://www.formdev.com/flatlaf/ [2] https://sourceforge.net/p/squirrel-sql/git/ci/master/tree/sql12/plugins/laf/doc/readme.html?format=raw -- Stanimir |
