Unhappy with lack of High DPI support in Sophos Connect

I noticed somebody asking about Sophos merchandise in the forum and I was reflecting on my use of XG 18 since the Early Access versions and the response to my complaint about the lack of High DPI support in the latest release of Sophos Connect.

With all this in mind, I'm thinking of producing a couple of new items of Sophos merchandise. They will of course both have a prominent Sophos logo. One will have the words "This will be addressed in a future update" and the other will have "That is by design".

Any takers?

Does it help to create: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Display] "EnableGdiDPIScaling"="scgui.exe" I don't have a 4K monitor where I am to test but reading: Turn on GdiDPIScaling…

I'd buy that for a dollar. Seriously though, I was shocked at how small the font and window size was after launching for the first time - my first thought was, "how am I suppose to roll this out to users?"

Sophos developers don't use high res screens? My current resolution is 3840 x 2160. Most users have a Surface laptop or a Dell monitor with 3240 x 2160 screen resolution and there is no way I can give this to them.

I replied to the release note as well, however may be easier to find this when doing google search. I used the workaround found here to resolve the scaling issue. ideas.sophos.com/.../42110932-sophos-connect-client-scaling

Does it help to create:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Display]

"EnableGdiDPIScaling"="scgui.exe"

I don't have a 4K monitor where I am to test but reading: Turn on GdiDPIScaling for applications (admx.help) I think it could help.

Glad that helped, I guess depending on how you're deploying, you could create a transform file using Orca to add the key at install:

Example command:

msiexec.exe /i 'SophosConnect_2.1.20_(IPsec_and_SSLVPN).msi' TRANSFORMS=SophosConnectEnableGdiDPIScaling.mst

SophosConnectEnableGdiDPIScaling.zip
