Hello,
User sent me the screenshot of my app. showing screwed up
graphics:
http://www.phonedialerpro.com/Options1.jpg
explaining only that he uses 1600x1050(!) resolution.

I have tried all
In my Windows XP (and Vista too) I set resolution to 1600x1200.
Then I set Super Large font (in Display>Properties>Appearance tab).
Then I set DPI custom settings to Custom Settings>200% (in
Display>Properties>Settings tab Advanced.
I do not need to say they are VERY extreme settings.
And I cannot reproduce that problem.
My screenshot looks like this (under above conditions):

Your comments appreciated,
Jack

Your user has a lower dpi setting than the compiled app used.

How to deal with that problem?
It seems as I need to change the font and font size to smaller size.
How can I do that automatically for all the controls on that form?
The font used now is MsSans Serif size 11
and I found out that for example Tahoma size 8 will correct that problem.
Thanks

You can use:

Dim c As Control

For Each c In Controls
c.Font = "Arial"
c.FontSize = 15
Next

But you'd better adjust the fontsize according to the users dpi settings.
