Hi guys
My eyesight is not the best and wearing glasses make me dizzy. Therefore I am using high DPI setting on my Windows 10 (1080p resolution) to increase everything by 150%. The setting is called: Make everything bigger. Cubase 13 seems to be well integrated with high DPI settings. It scales up the menu elements of the DAW itself and its VSTs, and does so without making anything blurry, which is awesome. The problem is, that with DPI so high, the title bars of the windows become a bit too tall.
So I changed the thickness of the window title bars using Regedit by going into:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics and changing the value of the string: MenuFont. I decreased the font size that is displayed in the title bar, and it works. The title bar of entire Cubase is much thinner now (vertically) and it gives me more space on my screen for other interface elements.
The problem is, though, that when I open a VST like Halion 7, the vertical thickness of its title bar is unaffected. The font on Halion’s title bar is the same size as on Cubase’s title bar (the new edited font size) and even the “x” on the “close window” button (on the upper right corner) is smaller, but the thickness of the title bar ifself is just as tall as before I changed it. So I am wondering if this has something to do with Windows and there is a Regedit string that can fix that or if it’s hardcoded inside Cubase and there is nothing that I can do about it?
Anyone has any idea?
I am posting a screenshot that shows the problem. My suspicion is towards the x/close button of Halion, and this button is is big, has a squared shape, and I think it’s this menu element that keeps Halion’s title bar too big.
