    Hello

    A fresh install of 1.1 beta and then the latest SVN gives the following problem...


    4zx3ep.png


    ...you will notice that the selection boxes for the choices to be made for the refresh rate can not be fully seen and the default refresh rate option tick box has its text truncated.
    The only other time that I see this is the box at the very top of the config screen "switch to standard mode"
    All the other menus etc are fine.
    I appreciate that whilst the issue is only minor you might want to be made aware of it.

    This is run on a 50" Plasma at 1920x1080.

    Hi

    Team are aware of it. See this quote from infinityloop:
    On many systems Windows 7 defaults the DPI value to 125% which results in a broken display of options inside configuration.exe and setuptv.exe.

    This can easiely be fixed by going to the compatibility options inside every shortcut and enable the option to disable the scaling when using DPI values greater than 100%.

    Thanks very much for posting the solution to the truncated type of menus I noted. It works a treat for me, with the method noted below :)

    I tried the option of disabling the scaling as noted but it did not work. I did however find success by reducing the DPi to 100%
