It seems it finally happened on v18.1!

At first I thought...that cannot be true...finally they did? And yes...it is there...scaling on windows machines works!!! It is like christmas... And it is not a bug...it is also in the release notes as a tiny side note under General:
"Support for fractional display scaling for Windows and Linux."
Thanks BlackmagicDesign!!!

Yay!? But I want it to open at 100% while my system is set to 125%. Can it be done?

Yes, it can be done. Steps as following.
Screen photos as following. (the contents were in Chinese language, but the meanings were as below steps described.)

1. Set Win11 (or Win10) system scalling as 125% (in 27'' 4K monitor).


2. In the program manual, right-click Resolve and choose ' open file location '.



3. Right-click pop-up location of Resolve shot-cut, and choose Property.



4. Copy following code and replace existing Target area contents.

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -WindowStyle Hidden "$Env:QT_ENABLE_HIGHDPI_SCALING=0;start 'C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Resolve.exe'"

And click Apply bottun.




5. Now the Resolve icon will change to windows powershell icon, click "change icon" bottun, and choose Resolve.exe file, then select correct Resolve icon. Then confirm and close all window.


6. Now in 27'' 4K monitor + win11 (or win10) 125% system scalling, Davinci Resolve should become 100% scalling of its original size.

Done.

Worked. Thank you. I sure hope BM can make this a config selection in the program. This is ridiculous that we have to do it this way.

Working perfectly, thank you!

Seems that on Linux, Wacom users get to choose either a UI that you can actually see without a telescope, or being able to click on a control and not have the click register somewhere random, but not both . Not what I'd expect from a professional level product.
