This has resulted in the dots per inch (DPI) of modern display panels being much higher than they have historically been. Display Scale Factor & DPIĪs display technology has progressed, display panel manufacturers have packed an increasing number of pixels into each unit of physical space on their panels. This document provides context and information about what is involved in updating a desktop application to render correctly. Without such work, applications will appear blurry or incorrectly-sized in many common usage scenarios. UWP applications automatically-and dynamically-scale for each display that they're running on.ĭesktop applications using older Windows programming technologies (raw Win32 programming, Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Framework (WPF), etc.) are unable to automatically handle DPI scaling without additional developer work. To start, if you're creating a new Windows app from scratch, it is highly recommended that you create a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) application. This content is targeted at developers who are looking to update desktop applications to handle display scale factor (dots per inch, or DPI) changes dynamically, allowing their applications to be crisp on any display they're rendered on.
