As can be seen in the image below, the text input box and the text inside it is way too large on high-DPI setups (in my case 2x scaling):

chatbox

Using latest master (39a8e81)

just downloaded chatterino and this is still an issue on chatterino 2.5.1. I played a little with windows compatibility settings for high-dpi but that just makes it worse.

@nevotheless can you try enabling the beta branch in your settings then trying the 2.5.2-beta.1 version? it should have improved high dpi support on windows

hmmm it certainly looks more native to the dpi. But doesn't seem to respect the scaling like other apps do. (My scaling is 200% which is recommended by windows)

After the update the sizes in chatterino looking more uniform but tiny as hell.

I don't have a UHD monitor at my disposal, but the last time I tried one, it ✨ just worked ✨. Are you sure your Chatterino is scaled correctly? Did you try the default settings (e.g. on a portable version)? Are you sure you're using the Qt 6 builds?

the chatterino installation is as default as it can be. After restarting chatterino after the update it looks different / better now (tabs are correct size, chat size seems to be correct, just some minor line hight shenanigans with the input box left)
