thanks - something to check on (I did some work on a different application recently to address DPI issues, but hadn't noticed with winvile since my local development is mostly via RDP).

Playing around with WinVile, and noticed that it scales poorly on my currently 150% display: blurriness, and occasionally a faint rectangular outline as the cursor isn't properly removed.

I've found that if I enable Windows 7 compat mode and claim that the application is DPI aware (in the settings) the main strangeness is that it mis-measures the width of the scrollbar.

Without knowing anything about Win32 programming, I suspect it's a matter of claiming DPI awareness, scaling the font size appropriately, and tweaking the code which determines the interface element sizes: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/ms701681(v=vs.85)
