High DPI improvements in 17.1?

[holisticdeveloper]

The 17.1 Release Overview states that one of the changes is to "Improve Accessibility on High Resolution Monitors." Can anyone offer specifics of what is better? For a Surface Pro, for example, will the display be better off running 17.1 or 17.2 over 17.0? I have a few users that are using 17.0 on Surface Pro 3s with Durkin DPI fixer.

Hi,

Just to feed back on your question around the specific improvements made in Act! v17 Service Pack 1, this update focussed on two pieces of broken functionality due to display settings: -

• Ellipses buttons or dropdown lists missing from detail views
• Tabs in detail views unusable

While these defects were mainly reported against Microsoft Surface devices, the changes also resolved these issues on other tablets or PCs with specific display settings.

Regards,

Stuart

I am not expert in Act! but the images below are only an idea

Do not forget to regularly back up the database, and keep in a safe place the user and password of the Administrator User.
