I just installed C13 on fresh windows 11 24h2 . When I open the Cubase I cannot access the project dialog’s OK or Cancel buttons as they are left covered by taskbar. Is there some magic setting (Cubase shortcut or registry) which would force Cubase to behave normally i.e taking into considereation the available screen real estate ?
My screen is 55" 60Hz and native resolution 3840x2160 and scaling is “recommeneded” 300%. It works beautifully with 98% of software.
I’m not ready to switch to taskbar hiding just because of one program. It slows things down unnecessarily.
I think there is some serious relevance on this issue as bigger sceens with higher resolutions are coming more and more commonly available.
I can access those buttons with 250% scaling but that is much too small for my eye sight and is asking for headache. In my case it would be migraine.
Again: you would not like to one modern program to dictate your screen scaling or resolution.
Have you already tried to change the HiDPI settings available in the Cubase preferences? It allows you to change the scaling only for Cubase without affecting other Windows applications.
Yes. I found it. It kind of works but ToneX and Groove Agent 5.2 are not fitting in to window properly.
I have found that ToneX has got broken with the high DPI respect. If I start it as stand alone it does not take account the user’s screen resolution. Cubases own product called Groove Agent 5 also cannot handle the higher screen resolutions. It can be scaled only in horizontal direction and even that is very short range. Currently highest possible resolution they both work on standard 3840x 2160 is exactly custom 270%. And on top of that Cubase’s high DPI setting must be at -25% correction scaling. It looks like Cubase API reports wrong screen real estate size to main program and Tonex internally limits the size it can accept (think of). Even 300% is “Recommended” by Windows for 3840x2160.
I wonder why those dev teams don’t migrate to GUIs which can scale totally independent of the users screen resolution. I mean the processors are very powerful these days and the free 2D scaling could be used as a basic underlying robustness tool and guideline for any development including Windows user interface. My Ryzen 9000 processor’s generation IGPU can handle the whole desktop without any problem. The desktop gui including Cubase is generally as snappy it can be.
Some development tools can be viewed as an example of software where the screen resolution independency has already been adopted. Good example of that is IntelliJ’s proramming IDE.
