Scaling issues?

Q: I import a sensorpanel and its changes the size and re-aranged objects

Q: How to avoid scaling problems with sensor panels?

A: Two things usually cause that

  • You do not have the proper font installed. (The default font is loaded instead)
  • You do not have Windows scaling set to 100%

A: When creating a sensor panel, make sure that you set the scaling in Windows to 100% and that the resolution in Aida64 is correct. The manually set sensor panel dimensions are saved directly in the sensor panel file and are automatically applied when loading for the first time.

Q: How to check the panel size?

  • Right click on "Aida64" Task bar Icon > Settings > SensorPanel > SensorPanel Size

Scaling issues? (Windows)

Fix: Try setting "DPI compatibility mode" for aida64.exe

It's a Windows compatibility setting that you apply on the EXE itself. Locate AIDA64.EXE (C:\Program Files (x86)\FinalWire\AIDA64 Extreme) aida64.exe > properties > compatibility > change high DPI settings > activate "Override high DPI Scaling behavior" to System. Scaling performed by: 'System' (from the drop down) > Ok/Apply > Restart Windows > Load/import panel and check if it works now.

Once you've done this, make sure that your SensorPanel properties are set to match the new panel before importing and you have a better chance of being successful.

Troubleshooting not working?

Users who have this scaling problem and cannot resolve the error with the known "fixes" unfortunately have to manually re-align each individual object.

I had a sensor panel that I put a LOT of time into creating including graphs with loads, temps, etc. with a bunch of other stuff.  I had it perfectly sized to fit on about half of one of my three monitors.  Today I upgraded my Alienware aw3418dw (a 3440x1440 ultrawide monitor) to the LG CX48 (a 16:9 4k monitor).  Not sure whether or not I'll even keep the new one since it's arguably too big, but it is gorgeous, and as I work out the kinks in using it, I'm liking it more and more.  Anyway, As soon as I turned the computer on after swapping out the monitors, Aida64 decided to put the sensor panel on the cx48 and resized it to be GIGANTIC.  I can't get it back to the normal size no matter what I've tried.

If I try to "resize" it from within Aida64, it just resizes the window without resizing all of the various graphs and whatnot inside it, meaning that I can make the sensor panel window itself smaller, but it cuts off the vast majority of the info I had in there.  I don't remember the exact size I had it set to originally, but I'm guessing it was something in the range of 900x1000 pixels.  The size that Aida64 resized it too (including resizing all the graphs and whatnot to fit in the window) is 2775x3000.

I've been thinking about making some suggestions here for awhile about ways to make the entire sensor panel creation process more user-friendly - it could use some vast improvements in this area.  But right now I have a basically unusable sensor panel and am not sure how to fix it.  Any help would be appreciated.

We've just rolled out the first beta build of the next-generation AIDA64 that fixes -- among many other things -- several issues related to how AIDA64 handles mixed DPI monitor setups:
