Default Anyone modified the default theme to look ok in windows 10?

The Default theme and Windows 10 don't seem very pleasant to my eyes.

Anyone have any fixes, approaches to this problem.

Also I really don't like the boarder size around plugins - is there a fix in windows 10 or no?

Thanks in advance.

That's not up to Reaper. You have to change the Windows theme for some elements, like the window borders. You'll need to use this for more in depth theme changes than just color: https://www.syssel.net/hoefs/softwar...me.php?lang=en
and seek out some 3rd party Win10 themes. Many options exist on DeviantArt.

Default Windows 10 and reaper display [FIXED]

I have discovered the problem and there are two fixes.

First turn the application DPI scaling off.

And if you have a large display, and want to scale, use this handy app.

There might be other ways to achieve this. But Reaper is now looking a lot better in Windows 10 (1809)!

I have a bit experience with mentioned tool for W10 which I tried after buying big 4K monitor.


The first thing is, its intention is to help with applications which doesn't support HiDPI natively. If you are using Reaper in HighDPI aware mode then it means it manifests HiDPI support to operating system, therefore this tool is not for that case.
The second thing, I had serious problems with this utility. It was causing huge slowness of Windows (some system processes were causing this issue), to the extent, that desktop was reacting with 10 secs lag.

So... use on your own risk.

I noticed you didn't described your issue enough. You mentioned you don't like something related to W10. Right now it seems you have a problem related to HighDPI application awareness. If so, go to Reaper preferences, and switch it to HighDPI aware mode. After that, Reaper will be not blurred any more. But expect you will have to find a theme matching your expectations for GUI elements sizes
