This setting has effect for the traditional desktop as such and all applications opening on it. Additionally applications (including the desktop itself) can be scaled individually with 'gesture' if they are built with the option (what few applications for traditional desktop are. Also not Notepad as I wrote before. But Explorer/Windows file manager is for instance).</div><div><br></div><div>This provides reasonable control, but Win8's interface is confusing (settings are hidden behind a number of dialogs as often in Windows) and complexity of the workings of multiple settings doing partially the same is difficult to understand. And it also seems to have changed since I had this machine 10 months ago (maybe when upgrading from Win8 to 8.1). I remember it being otherwise and simpler, actually (I don't tweek it every week). Some details may change again with Win10. It may also matter for some details here that Win8 idetifies this machine as a 'tablet' - probably because all that is not basic tablet hardware is attached with USB (not using a standard USB jack - but 'device manager' reports them as attached with USB, so they are!).</div></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>-- Peter<br></div></font></span></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="h5"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jan 11, 2015 at 12:01 PM, Chris Murphy <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lists@colorremedies.com" target="_blank">lists@colorremedies.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">This problem reminds me of this:<br>
