DreamScape Wallapapers only filling part of screen when screen text set to 125 or 150%

April 27, 2013 7:46:55 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I like to set my screentext to 150% however there is a bug with dreamscapes where it will only fill part of the screen when I do this.

Is there any work around for this aside from setting it back to 100% like I have temporarily done.

I don't think so....however that won't necessarily be a 'bug' but rather an incompatibility between some Windows functions and others...

I have found a potential work around by increasing text size only using the windows display settings. Now its 50% fixed with still 50% of things not effected by the text size change.

Wish I could help... I don't know on W8 how to get the true screen resolution, but I have a nagging feeling that your computer is not feeding the true resolution to the programs.

You might pm yrag. He might be as great on W8 as he is with the rest on MS's OSs.

In any case, please email support@stardock.com and wait until you hear from an actual person before emailing again.

I found how to fix this!


Go to control panel>Personalisation>Display and select custom sizing options - Tick the box for 'Use Windows XP style scaling'  - I also ticked the box for disable display scaling on high DPI setting under the Deskscape shortcut.

Glad you found how to do this, aLi3nZ00t. Figured it had to do with the display settings and how they were being sent.

I had exactly the same Problem.

Thanks for the Workaround, aLi3nZw00t - it works well on my Windows 8 pro 64 bit and now the wallpapers are displayed at full-screen.

It seems to be a bug.

My HTC is connected to a flat-tv -  so i need the text-size of 150%.
