SoapUI on windows 10 - high DPI/4K scaling issue

Question

SoapUI doesn't seem to be DPI-Aware and displays too small on my high DPI screen (tiny text and buttons). Other applications are running fine (screen resolution 3840 x 2160).

Version: SoapUI 5.1.2
OS: Windows 10

I have tried:

• Configure SoapUI to run with "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" - some parts of SoapUI are looking even bigger and don't display properly (image)
• Changing resolution
• Changing font size (Preferences > Editor Settings > Select font...)

Therefore I assume, that SoapUI pretends to be DPI-Aware, but does not really scale up itself. Does anyone have the same issue?

Answer 1

On Windows 10, it now works by setting the scaling in the properties of the SoapUI.exe

Answer 2

This is the workaround until the developers get round to making a version that is DPI-Aware.

Step 1: Add a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide\PreferExternalManifest (DWORD) to 1

Step 2: Add a manifest file 'SoapUI-5.2.1.exe.manifest' in the same directory as 'SoapUI-5.2.1.exe'

Content of manifest file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">     <description>eclipse</description>     <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">         <security>             <requestedPrivileges>                 <requestedExecutionLevel xmlns:ms_asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3"                     level="asInvoker" ms_asmv3:uiAccess="false">                 </requestedExecutionLevel>             </requestedPrivileges>         </security>     </trustInfo>     <asmv3:application>         <asmv3:windowsSettings xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">             <ms_windowsSettings:dpiAware xmlns:ms_windowsSettings="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">false</ms_windowsSettings:dpiAware>         </asmv3:windowsSettings>     </asmv3:application> </assembly> 

Correct DPI scaling:
