Is there an ETA on when the timeline will be Hi-DPI ready? I'm loving this theme already. The biggest eyesore is the text on the media items and on the time ruler. If those can be adjusted to support the new Hi-DPI theme, that would make my life.

The waveforms have never really looked like they needed adjusting. With the antialiased peak and waveform drawing enabled, they look smooth as can be. It's really just the fonts that I'm hoping can be adjusted.

Thanks again White Tie and Justin. This has been great to use so far!

Default HiDPI vs. Automation items

Looks like HiDPI in Reaper is suspended in favor of the new “Automation items” feature.

It’s a shame given that the HiDPI feature was already almost finished and basically just needed some polishing while finishing the “Automation items” feature is probably much more complicated and time-consuming.

Ya waiting patiently here too.

I think it is a bit more complicated than it seems. In order to pull this off they have to allow theming of some items that historically haven't been done. Like fonts in the Midi Window etc. Or maybe they just have to scale them automatically. I'm guessing that they didn't allow them to scaled via the theme before due to technical complexity as many have asked for that ability.

Not an expert or anything, but that may be part of it.

I am somewhat confused about all this ... I have a new 4k 43" Dell that is definitely 'hi rez'... and since it has windows 10 on it there is that control to set the display from 100% to 300%...

Now I have old eyes and have to wear spec's as well, but the whole point of that monitor [and my other setup with hi rez dual mon's] is to be able to fit a lot of stuff on the screen...

Yikes I don't want to enlarge any of it at all! win 10 at 10% [wish I could lover really]....

So while I can surely understand how nice svg vector could be... I don't get what the love for all this is about.... maybe I'd have to see it on other displays to understand...

There's the misunderstanding - 4k means 3840px × 2160px, while 43" means "blimey, that monster is the size of my TV". Resolution is about pixel density, so that's not high resolution at all, far from it. Compare, for example, with an iPad mini, which is 2048px × 1536px but a mere 8" in size.

That 43" Dell is basically four 1920x1080 monitors in one. At 1K, not 2K or 4K. So, not really HiDPI.

the 43 is really my son's and not mine, but I get to see and use it for the moment...

I have dual 30" Dells on my own [bezel included.. ] running at 2560X1600 which does give me a lotta room... but that single 43" display is indeed a whole 'nuther world.

Hmm it seems to me the "true" sense of the word is that it has a horizontal resolution close to 4000. I think the true expression here is "High DPI"...

I guess... but it's not "retina", so to speak. It doesn't have a huge pixel density.

If it were that same resolution in a 24" monitor, say, that'd be a huge pixel density, hence "retina". Retina (or HiDPI) is about cramming more pixels per inch in order to enhance sharpness and level of detail. Or am I going about this the wrong way?

Glad I cant afford to buy anything like this and find out for better or worse.
As I suspect many others on here are.

This is all about HiDPI screens. The clue is in the thread title. Tablets, HiDPI laptops, Apple retina stuff.

If anyone want to plays "I've got a big standard DPI screen" then there's nothing for you here ...but sure, come at me, bro. I've got three of them

One of the best purchases I ever made, at a lovely 89ppi

The issue with going beyond ~90ppi is that too many VST/DAW/Apps aren't ready to support it yet (no proper scaling).

I look forward to the day when I can run a 16k 48" monitor with VST/Apps that scale via vector graphics, but in the meantime ppi is a more important consideration than resolution IMO.

My XPS 13 has 276ppi so, while the resolution *might* look a little sharper than my 50" monitor, it's not even close to worth dealing with the hassle of getting everything to scale properly.

That being said, I'm looking forward to vector Reaper some day

Blows me away every time I sit in front of it. I'm not worthy...

50" JU7100 connected to a GTX970.

As you said, it's the equivalent of 4 x 25" 1080p monitors with no bezel.

The issue with using some TVs is input lag, but this one has a pretty low 44ms, or 26ms if using gaming mode. I'm not much of a gamer these days so 44ms has been fine (4:4:4 chroma is more useful for me than lower lag).
Purpose-built large PC monitors can have lower input lag (17-25ms I think) but they're very expensive for little additional advantage, and I'm not even sure that you can find a 4k with ~90ppi (i.e. 48"+).

Can you tone down the off topic please gents? This is a reference thread, you may only ever read it once but every time I want to refresh myself on what everyone's been contributing I'll have to wade through the whole lot including all unrelated gumpf.

Really cool! But Reaper should follow windows scaling setting... on my 4k monitor the best setting is 150%, 200 is a little bit large.

People are confusing DPI with pixel count. I know it gets confusing with all the marketing BS. 4k refers to resolution only, not DPI.

1080p is not 1k either (you could think of 720p being roughly 1k resolution).
1080p (1080x1920) is just shy of 2k (2k is 2048x1080).

Thank you! For some reason it didn't work the first time I tried (with Reaktor 6), but I removed the plugin and tried again and it did work, and all the other plugins are working as well.

I have been evaluating a "4k" screen and struggling with the scaling issues! The GUI of majority of plugins are too tiny for my eyes. The suggested "run on separate process" trick is not a solution for me, as it causes lot's of problems with some plugins. For example, BFD2 crashes a lot. Secondly, running plugins on separate process seem to cause lot's of overhead. I start to hear crackling quite soon, even when cpu is still managing the load. And also the mandatory "Show UI" popup window is driving me crazy. So I'm considering whether or not I should move back to old screen. It's a bummer.

That’s probably just something that could be improved in the separate-process VST-host implementation. Multiprocess approach is good in general since it allows to use CPU cores more effectively and thus to improve overall performance. For example, Chrome and Firefox web-browsers have multiprocess architecture.

An option for being able to scale older VST-plugins’ GUI when using the built-in (native) VST host is to use the feature of Windows 10 Anniversary Update called “Mixed-Mode DPI Scaling”. This feature allows to use different DPI-awareness settings for different windows of the same application. Unfortunately, this feature is not available in earlier versions of Windows such as Windows 7 (which I’m a user of, for example), but could be conditionally enabled when running Reaper under Windows 10 Anniversary Update and more recent versions of Windows.

That's both good and bad news, because I'm stuck with Windows 7. I assume this feature needs to be supported by Reaper too before it can be used. But hopefully, not too distant future these things will become available. The traditional low-dpi platform is getting inevitably outdated (sooner or later).

Unfortunately seems not to be possible from user side. The same goes for plugin list window.

You can adjust menu text size depending on your windows version: Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display

Unfortunately not possible without dirty tricks. Set ALL your plugins to run in separated process, so that they open bridged in Reaper (this can be done in Reaper VST preferences). Then the GUI's will be scaled by what you have set in windows scaling settings. Be prepared to blurry graphics and (at least in my case) some crashing plugins and reduced overall performance.

Use Windows display settings and up the text & Co scale abit, and you also have an option for media explorer to use Windows Explorer for browsing if that works better.

There are some issues with the Reaper UI which are not related to the theme anyway. But I thought I would post them here for a reference.

I have Windows scaling set as 170%. I had to scale down these images to be able to upload here, so they might look a bit blurry.




JSFX GUI's are pretty messed up. The sliders are getting on top of each other.




Routing window has misaligned elements




VU meter scales are unreadable small




The project layer title is unreadable small




The monitor FX is unreadable small

On Windows10 it look like this here @ 150 and with REAPER set to aware in pref with the Hidpi theme.



The meter scales gets a little larger, but way to small when experimenting in proportion to the rest.

SmajjL, thanks for your input.

I have now tested Reaper with the following systems (170% UI scaling):

Windows 8.1 (real machine)
Windows 8.1 (virtual machine)
Windows 7 (real machine)
Windows 7 (virtual machine)
Windows 10 (virtual machine)

Windows 8.1 was the only system (both real and virtual) suffering these UI problems. So it seems that there is some incompatibility with Windows 8.1, well at least until someone reports here that there is no issues with his/her system?

You are welcome.
Also, I could swear that I for some reason could not change font or sizes in theme tweaker before with this theme, now I can and I have no clue why or how I managed to screw up before, but hey! +forward

Edit:
And it is not so much the meter scales, since I can figure that out, it's more the meter peak indicators, I need to see.
