Resizing of Rainmeter Icon problem...

Post by rievhardt »

so this is how it looks after installation.
BTW I'm using windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and a 7870 GPU if that's affecting this...

and this is how it looks after I reset my computer...

sometimes if I reset again it gets back to the size when I installed it.

my comp if new.
I haven't installed anything much on it.
only things from Microsoft and BF3.

is that normal on Rainmeter. (I posted on another's thread similarly to this...so I guess I'm not the only one experiencing this...)

I already tried a Clean Uninstall and Fresh Reinstall...about 5 times or more...same results...

I'm on the 2.2 ver.

You were probably using a higher DPI setting on your old Windows installation. Check this to change your DPI setting.

My Reso is currently on1920x1080(recommended) on both GPU and Monitor)
I am currently on Larger-150%

it's been on that setting before I installed Rainmeter.
is that what's causing the problem?

I don't think that it was caused by that...
I tried changing the Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Display

but I think the Rainmeter doesn't seem to be affected by this change at all.
because if that was the cause, the rainmeter should have changed along with the windows icons...

Did you fully restart Rainmeter between each change of the DPI settings?

do you mean...restart the computer? yes, I did. The dpi size change won't apply unless I restart it. not shutdown though...but restarts and takes me to the log in screen again.

For some reason it became BIG again after I installed another Rainmeter app.
I took this PIC just now.
