The new GDI scaling introduced in Windows 10 Creators update is quite amazing. (https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2017/04/04/high-dpi-scaling-improvements-desktop-applications-windows-10-creators-update/). Just try it on the Delphi IDE if you work on a High DPI monitor and enjoy the difference. You need to right-click on the executable or the shortcut, select Properties and under compatibility check "Override high DPI scaling behavior" and select System (Enhanced). You can also make your DPI unaware Delphi apps to use GDI scaling by default by adding a custom manifest that includes the following:

    I know how to work with manifest files (see https://www.finalbuilder.com/resources/blogs/postid/753/windows-manifest-files) - I tried using the gdiScaling setting in my manifest file, however it made no difference to how it looks on a high dpi monitor (runnng creators fall update).
