Hi resolution monitor problems with Lotus Approach

Post by ToddAndMargo2 »

Hi All,

I have a new 4096x2160 (4K) monitor. Smart Suite coughs above 1920x1440 on both Approach and Word Pro. Missing text, artefacts, shimmering screens, and much more. The Approach mailing list verifies this is an issue with high resolution monitors in native Windows as well.

The work around is to put Smart Suite programs in to virtual Desktop. Other more modern programs do not have the issue.

Code: Select all

bash -c "cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/lotus/approach; wine explorer /desktop=`date +%H:%M:%S`_wine_virtual_desktop_1680x1050,1680x1050 approach.exe"
It works.

I would love to be able to break my Smart Suite programs free of the virtual desktop if possible. If I request this from the developers, is it something they are capable of doing? Or am I stretching the (Wine) technology too far?

Many thank,
-T
