Hi Fiery,
Thanks for the suggestion. I see you are the AIDA64 developer?
I use a 27" LCD screen, and thus use 120DPI desktop font (instead of the standard 96 DPI font). The reason is that otherwise the icons would be too miniscule to read.
I tried your suggestion of changing to standard font (96DPI), and then I also tried 144DPI to see what would happen. I use XP Pro SP3, and rebooted each time.
The font in the tray icons in Everest, under any of the 3 resolutions tried, is very readable. Clarity and readablility is critical for the icons displaying critical info about your computer.
Yes, the font runs off the right side of the Everest icons, but is still way more readable than the AIDA64 font.
Actually the larger font is perfect, unless there is a period "." in the text, like in CPU speed. Because the icon can only handle 2 characters, not 3.
In AIDA64, the font is distorted under all 3 resolutions tried.
The font just gets larger or smaller with changes to the desktop font size, but equally distorted at all settings.
Is there an easy font change setting somewhere that I can try?
Since AIDA64 is a newer version of Everest, I do not understand why the icons differ so much in the new version.
I could live with the smaller fonts, but need to lose the distortion and have a normal looking font in the icons.
Is there a setting change I can try, or is this a bug?
Any other suggestions to try? Your help is much appreciated. Thanks.
