Hi,
I cannot use Xara at the moment due to its incompatibility with high-DPI screens (4k+).
What is the ETA of a fix - what version will finally have this? I suppose version 16 still does not have it.
Please do not recommend me use the online version - until it has feature parity and keyboard shortcut compatibility with Xara X I might as well use anything else.
Thanks!

Silver, my best guess is never but I do earnestly hope to be proved wrong.Quote:

there are 4K screens and 4K screens of course, some are better than others [ie the more expensive up to a point]
I have moved this thread to Dear Xara. I have not purchased a 4K monitor for this reason.
Thanks Gary. [So what was the reason you purchased one? ;))]Quote:

i have no meaningful issue with my 4k cintiq at 200% but you would not be buying one just to use as a monitor
Any news if Pro X 17 includes a fix for 4k monitors?
You are out of luck on this, this time around.Quote:

Ok, but doesn't this essentially mean the project is abandoned? I mean if there are no real technical/platform innovations in the desktop app. Only new templates, formatting improvements, integrations (import export) stuff like that... They are just borderline scamming existing users out of any money they can with minimal effort.
For a graphics editor to have no 4k support at this point is insane IMO. As a graphics editor you would want to have THE BEST MONITOR out there. Apple's monitor is 8k for example.
welcome to the way xara sees the future ;)
blah, they should perhaps open source it at this point. Given the main canvas already is scale independent (its vector after all), creating a new ui in .net core wpf and mapping to win32 calls might be doable. They themselves obviously will not refactor.
it may not be that simple; leaving aside the implications for the bitmap objects, xara has it's own rendering engine
Why open-source a cash cow?Quote:
