Setting Separate DPI for individual wine programs

Post by gfrank227 »

Hi all,
I'm attempting to run a program that specifically needs to be run with a LogPixels value of 60 because if not, it cuts off some critical buttons.
However, for the other programs I use, this is WAY too small and I need to set the value to 80.

I have attempted to use winecfg to adjust this setting for individual programs but no matter what I do, it adjusts it globally, not for the specific program (even when the specific program is listed on the top of the window). I have also experimented with creating additional configuration values in the registry for the specific programs, but this hasn't seemed to make any difference (I may be creating it incorrectly; registries are complicated).

Any advice or assistance in getting this to work would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

A workaround might be to install the programs in different wineprefixes.
