Is the WB made for Windows 7 or have a Win 7 substyle?  If you are using a skin made for XP, that will cause such a problem.

Do you have your Display set to the 125% resolution for eyesight issues ?

Some Blinds break up then. -I Actually KNOW Mutopia can´t handle it.

Go to Controlpanel / Display and make sure it´s set to "Smaller" 100%

Hope this helps.

Um, please pay attention MALEVOLENTSCORPION. You just receieved your help from the author of one of the skins you are having High DPI issues with, then proceed to ask the general public if Neone6 will update the skin! Why not read the whole reply, absorb the information, then respond . Only Neone or Vampothika can tell you what they may intend, I would add, you are asking alot and I am not sure high DPI is available through WB, would be curious to that answer myself. Anyone know?

Why not just set your display to a lower resolution?

because everything is way small and harder to read and the graphics are not a good. Do u think theyll upgrade the theme anytime soon or do they do that?

A lower resolution will make things bigger,not smaller. My sister is half blind and runs her 19''ws monitor at 800x600. (yes, it's ugly)

A PM to the creator of the skin is the best way to get an answer to that question.

Many Configuration screens of the various ODNT software depends on a DPI of 96, or used to. It made no sense to design skins that would be run at higher DPI.

Advanced/highly detailed Blinds can obviously not stretch to any persons preference in resolution. However we really try to skin them as versatile as possible, but some things just can not be done.

Thant's why I went to the drugstore and bought cheap glasses. I can see everything and my resolution is 1600x900.

You have set your display to something else than default, therefore some Blinds won´t apply as intended for you.

Neone is correct. It isn't a perfect world. Adapt.
