Re: No high resolution support in Windows

Is there any way to increase the default row height in SQL Data Output grids? Because grids having rows that are too narrow to show the text properly is the only annoying thing when I disable high resolution scaling for pgAdmin.

The “Edit Data” grids look much better because the rows are a few pixels taller, for some reason. They still truncate a few pixels from the bottom of the content, but it’s acceptable.

And for that matter, unrelated to the resolution issues, is there a way to increase the default column width? I hate having to resize each column, especially when the grid has many columns, because by default they are not wide enough in most cases:

Well, yeah, PgAdmin is not fully compatible with high DPI display. We need to provide icons with better resolution. And we need a fully compatible wxwidgets library. As far as I can tell, it isn't, at least on windows. Mac os x retinas displays seem to work fine though.
