Halion-Sub-Window is positioned / stratched over 3 screens

Dear VST-Live-Team,

I am using VST live at my home studio one a windows 11 notebook together with 2 additional screens (3 screens in total).

When I open in VST live a sub-menu of Halion then it is splitted to 2 screens and stratched. Before I can start working now in Halion I need to re-locate the new Halion Window to one screen (preferred the notebook-Monitor).

The Positioning of the new Halion-Screen is not optimal:

Example 1: The VST-Live-Main-Screen is initially on the notebook-screen. The additional / new Halion-window is placed by VST on the 2nd screen but partially outside of the window (the title of the window). Therefor I need to re-locate the windows via shortkey Windows + Arrow-key.

Start Frame condition:

Result: Halion-Sub-Windows is placed partially outside of the window. The available screen is not used efficiently.

Example 2:
The VST-Live-Main-Screen is initially on the big-screen behind the notebook.
The additional / new Halion-window is placed by VST on 3 screen. This is not useful and therefor I need to re-locate the windows via shortkey Windows + Arrow-key.

Start Frame-Condition:

Result: The new Halion-Sub-Windows is partially placed over 3 screens.

As a general impression I have the feeling that the current software code at VSTL could be improved so that the available screen is used and to show the windows on 1 screen / instead on 3 screens (partially).

Question / Request: Would it be possible to change this application behaviour so that the sub-windows of halion is only shown on the main screen of the notebook (instead a split / stretch over 2 screens)?

This is a small topic but it would help to allow to work in VST live more smoothly in a simplified workflow mode.

Below please find the screensettings on my windows 11 notebook:

I guess there are different user working in their studio with multiple screens therefor it might be also relevant for other users.

Thanks in advance for your feedback / support.

Kind regards

Do the Halion7 window bahave the same in other DAW?
Maybe switch off HiDPI in Preferences → Interface, I would try.

Thank you Arthur for your fast feedback.
It seems that this configuration change is solving the issue I described above :-).

But on my 3rd-Screen now the VST-live screen looks a little bit strange:

This are my windows settings (Screen No. 3):

But this is currently not a topic for me (maybe depending on special screen resolutions).

Kind regards

Sam

Strange. Then with HiDPI on there should be a possibility to reset Halion7 window size. Like it is for Kontakt. But I cannot say where (and if) such option is.

Thank you Arthur :-).

My main topic (Halion sub-windows overlapping 3 screens) could be solved by deactivating the HiDPI. This was re solution I was looking for and makes my life easier. Thanks for your fast and helpful feedback.

Kind regards

Sascha
