Windows Menu not scaling in nwtoolset.exe

Code: Select all

$ wine --version
wine-7.0

Code: Select all

$ lsb_release -a

I have changed the following scaling settings to try and make the Windows menus text larger:

winecfg > Graphics > Screen resolution: 144 dpi

wine regedit > My Computer > HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG > Software > Fonts > LogPixels REG_DWORD 0x0090 (144)

However... though the Windows "menu ribbon"(?) increases in size, the "drop down menu" from the menu ribbon does not:

There are still some problems with the DPI settings in Wine.
I can't find whether your problem is already known. If you also can't find similar bug report on https://bugs.winehq.org/, please create one.

As a workaround you can change the font size with:
winecfg → Desktop Intergration - Appearance - Item: "Menu Text" → Font... → Size:

@jkfloris

Thank you. Just the setting I was searching for.

In fact, for anyone reading this, ignore the two settings I tried:

winecfg > Graphics > Screen resolution
wine regedit > My Computer > HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG > Software > Fonts > LogPixels REG_DWORD

and just use the setting jkfloris specified:

winecfg → Desktop Integration - Appearance - Item: "Menu Text" → Font... → Size:
