Custom Scaling messes up rainmeter resolution

Post by socrates »

Hi all,

I am using Rainmeter on a PC that servers as a HTPC, attached to a 80" monitor.
Due to the fact I am sitting 7-8 feet away from the monitor I have to enlarge the fonts on the PC using the Custom Scaling feature to 150%. Please note, I am using the 1080p resolution.
But if i custom scale it affects the rainmeter's resolution also.. Every single rainmeter item enlarges. Is there a way i can lock the rainmeter so that it stays to its original 1080p resolution and not enlarge with custom scaling for the desktop resolution?

Have been holding back on rainmeter for ages due to the DPI issue, wished i had looked up earlier here on the forum. ;p

The correct link is this: Rainmeter and DPI in Windows 10 ;-)
