Questions and suggestions, high dpi support?

from Stardock Forums

I don't know if there's something I'm missing here, but I cannot seem to find any option to NOT start windowsblinds with windows. I know there are other ways to disable it from starting but it seems kind of counter-intuitive to not have this option in the application.

The reason I would not like to have windowsblinds start with windows is that there are currently no skins I like that are optimized for my native 1920x1080 resolution. I use higher dpi scaling (125%) and on most skins I download the menu's, titlebars and text size are much too small to comfortably read on both my 23" ips and 47" hdtv. Seeing as most new monitors and tv's today are 1080p, it confuses me why there is such little support for higher DPI even in applications like windowsblinds that are consistently updated. It would be very nice to see some UI scaling support in future updates, or more skins optimized for this setting.

In this lifehacker poll from 2012, the most popular resolution was 1920x1080 http://lifehacker.com/5904347/whats-your-monitors-resolution

I know I can't be the only one that would like to see this  ^_^'

There is no option to disable WindowBlinds on startup because it is expected any theme you applied would still be there next time you rebooted your machine in the same way your wallpaper would remain after rebooting.

Regarding high dpi, WindowBlinds itself is high dpi aware, but while theme fonts will resize based on the dpi, some elements like titlebars have fixed heights in skins and so do not expand.  However there is nothing to stop a skin author adding a high dpi substyle and I would encourage them to do so.
