MySQL Workbench High DPI

Question

So I'm using MySQL workbench in a new high DPI, high resolution setting. If I allow MySQL Workbench to use Window's DPI settings, the font becomes blurry everywhere but the editor.

If I disable the DPI settings (in Compatibility) and raise the font size in the Workbench Preferences, it looks fine except for the left menu (schema list, table list, object info) which is very small font. Does anyone know of any workaround or an alternative to Workbench? It's going to be hard to continue using Workbench with a high resolution display otherwise. HeidiSQL suffered the same DPI blurry font problem. So it's either headache or squinting.

Answer 1

I am using Windows 10 Pro, after the Creators upgrade, and a 4K 27" monitor. Right-click on the MySQL Workbench program icon, choose "Compatibility", then tick "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:", then choose "System (Enhanced)". That makes it look reasonable, although the table names are still pixel-doubled so they look fuzzy, and the Output windows still uses a small font.

Answer 2

I am using windows 10, right clicking on the executable and clicking Troubleshoot compatibility did not work for me. Ticking "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:", then choose "System (Enhanced)". did not help too.

What i did is: "Change high DPI sttings" and tick "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:", then choose "Application". Click "Ok" then "Apply"
