SkyDemon 3.2.1.0 on Windows 8.1 x64 on a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 does not make use of the high DPI screen and everything looks very blurry.

Are there plans to make SkyDemon work on high DPI screens which are more and more becoming the norm? On Mac there already isn't a product without and in the Windows world it's pickup up speed as well. Maybe it's because it's based on a very old .NET runtime?

SkyDemon is developed on quite a high DPI PC screen and our mapping engine supports such an environment fully. Perhaps your machine is attempting to run SkyDemon in a compatibility mode where it scales everything up instead of leaving SkyDemon to render in your native DPI?

Indeed, I had to change the compatibility settings. Your installer should do that itself :-)

Now it looks really nice on the HighDPI screen.
