    I set my DPI to 150%. When I completely re-start my PC, and Mediaportal starts up, the whole GUI will start up as normal (no issues).
    When I close Mediaportal (ALT+F4) and then restart Mediaportal again, I get big fonts in Titan only and not in default skin. Also the windows taskbar stays visible on both skins. See screenshots

    I can confirm "Also the windows taskbar stays visible" with Titan and default skin on 1.40 pre and having set the dpi at 150%

    I do not have big fonts in Titan skin.

    Have not found out what causes this yet. And the fun fact as usual is, that I cannot reproduce.

    maybe that you have a geforce in stystem specs and we all are using an ati card ?
    could it be related to a specific brand or driver version ?

    I tried the suggestion of mrmojo666 and removed my AMD videocard (hd7770). Removed al AMD drivers etc and activated the intel hd 2500 (i5 cpu).
    Started MP with DPI @ 150%. Works fine! No taskbar, no large icons.

    Perhaps this is indeed an AMD thingie... :(
