Display settings - Scaling 175% only works partly

[PvD_Sweden]

Hi folks,

As I am currently working from my holiday address with only my laptop, I thought it would be a good idea to change the Windows display settings to scaling 175%. At home I work with a 24 inch screen, but the smaller laptop screen becomes unreadable in the default 100% setting. While this works quite nicely for most applications, Blue Prism decided to only implement it partly: some texts and values will be shown enlarged, some will not. Ahe ones that are enlarged will no longer fit within the border of the field that has not been scaled up. In other words, it's quite hard to work with BP that way. (...which is a kind way of saying it is a mess...)

Luckily, we're still at version 6.10 and will go over to a newer version, probably 7.3, later this summer.

My question is if I can expect to find the newer version 7.3 of BP behave better on the point indicated above or I can expect the same mess or perhaps worse than I have now?

Happy coding!

Hi @PvD_Sweden,

To answer your question – upgrading to version 7.3 will not resolve the issue, as the behaviour remains the same in Blue Prism.

As a solution, please ensure that the display resolution is set to 100%. Feel free to reply to this thread if you need further details.

If this resolves your query, kindly mark this as the Best Answer.

Hi S,

Thx for your swift reply.
No clue what to do now as I'll be limited to work in places where there's a larger screen available. I'm quite disappointed in BP - again. 

Worked with a flashy new and fancy product in the early 90ies, it developed fast and improved with every version. Then the owners decided to cash out and sell to a big company. From there, things went downhill. Less and less updates, less to no new features. Ownership changed hands a few more times in as many years. In short, the product was left to die.

Suddenly, pension sounds tempting...

Hopefully happy coding...
