Re: Tiny display in Win 8.1
Hawk, I think csi_bern succeeded to make his SweetHome3D.l4j.ini file work, but this solution doesn't show icons at a larger size. csi_bern, if you know a little about Java, please see this thread and the patch proposed here. It should help until Oracle proposes a solution.

Re: Tiny display in Win 8.1
Hi there,
Yes, that's exactly my problem.
I know a bit about Java, but I don't want to broke everything by doing something wrong. Further, I don't have time today to try it.
Since I have my new computer, I've also a similar problem with Adobe CS6. I found a full working solution there:link .
I've try it quickly yesterday at home with Sweet Home 3D, but it doesn't work. It was probably my mistake as I've done the manifest for a EXE file and not a Java file. Will it work with the good extension?

Re: Tiny display in Win 8.1
The new version 5.2 proposes a new solution for HiDPI screens. I would be very happy to hear what you think about it.

Re: Tiny display in Win 8.1
From the feedback of two users, it looks like that the HiDPI Java Web Start version works correctly, but if you use the installer of version 5.2, setting com.eteks.sweethome3d.resolutionScale value in SweetHome3D.l4j.ini file might not be enough and still give incorrect results. If it's the case, you might have to reset the fonts size too, adding for example the 4 last lines of the following example in SweetHome3D.l4j.ini file:
That works beautifully! I had set -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.resolutionScale=2, but some fonts were huge. I have now set the other parameters as suggested (keeping resolutionScale=2 though), and everything looks great.
I am running a Lenovo Yoga and am having the problems mentioned above. After applying the SweetHome3D.l4j.ini fix I got some relief. Everything displays correctly except for the list of furniture items used in the plan - which is displayed as a list in the lower left panel of the screen. This list is scrunched up.

Re: Tiny display in Win 8.1
Hi. I made this change to sh3d and must say the text size is much better for me, but, if i open - close - reopen a separate function, eg, photo or create shape, each time i open it the text size enlarges until it becomes unusuable, any idea why this would be. Thanks Mike
