None of the high DPI setting override options do anything

I have a 4K monitor and have the scaling set to 200%, Resolve looks horrible.

I find out about the "high DPI scaling override options... not ONE of them makes a change in the UI's appearance AT ALL!

What is the deal with this? Why are there settings that just simple do ZERO?

Display Scaling should always be set to 100%.

If things are too small, then you need physically larger monitors.

In other words, yes Resolve is stuck in the 90s when it comes to UI technology.

Not a solution, I already have a 55" monitor... putting scaling to 100% not only makes everything eles tiny, even Resolve is tiny when scaling is set to 100% -- funny how people like you don't think we have read the hundreds of plebs telling people to put their scaling to 100%. Newsflash: THAT'S NOT THE SOLUTION!!!!

OK, so now... as I said upfront... the option to OVERRIDE the high DPI settings by right-clicking the .exe file and setting the override DOES NOTHING!!! Got that? So that's problem number 2 that is Resolve's fault.

Now chomp on this... there is custom code online (not hard to find) that can be pasted into powershell to force Resolve to resize... every permutation using numerous variables ALSO yields undesirable results.

Bottom line... Resolve needs to have a way to actually scale it's UI's appearance IN problem-- people act like this software is going to overtake Adobe at some point-- not like this!!! Their UI is in the stone age.
