We thank you for your ongoing feedback, and encourage you to install the latest Visual Studio 2019 preview, enable the PMA functionality, and tell us about your experiences through the Developer Community portal.

In future updates, weвЂ™ll continue enabling PMA across more areas and look forward to your feedback. Our goal is to have per-monitor awareness working across the most used features by the time we ship Visual Studio 2019. Visual Studio 2019 Preview 2 also fixes some of the usability issues affecting UI positioning, scaling and content bounding that were discovered in Preview 1. HereвЂ™s a few of the most used UI in Visual Studio where you should notice a difference. There are many features where youвЂ™ll start to see Visual Studio render clear fonts and crisp images. The option to enable and disable PMA is located on the вЂњPreview FeaturesвЂќ node. If youвЂ™re still running Preview 1 then you also need to enable вЂњOptimize rendering for screens with different pixel densitiesвЂќ in the Preview Features node of the Tools -> Options dialog.

YouвЂ™ll need to have the Windows 10 April 2018 Update or a newer build installed along with the latest version of. The easiest way to try the new PMA functionality is on Visual Studio 2019 Preview 2. Preview 2 also adds several more popular tool windows that now correctly handle per-monitor DPI awareness. content renders within the bounds of tool windows). Visual Studio 2019 Preview 1 included the core platform support for per-monitor DPI awareness and Preview 2 includes additional fixes for usability issues around scaling, positioning and bounding (e.g. When working for extended periods of time, these visual regressions can be a distraction or even a physical strain. System scaled applications render accurately on the primary display as well as others in the same configuration but have visual regressions such as blurry fonts and images when rendering on displays with different configurations. ThatвЂ™s because versions prior to Visual Studio 2019 were set to render as a system scaled application, rather than a per-monitor DPI aware application (PMA). If you have used Visual Studio across monitors with different scale factors or remoted into a machine with a different configuration than the host device, you might have noticed Visual Studio вЂ™s fonts and icons can become blurry and in some cases, even render content incorrectly. Visual Studio 2019 (left) with system scaling vs Visual Studio 2019 (right) with the PMA option enabled. PMA support means the IDE and more importantly, the code you work on appears crisp in any monitor display scale factor and DPI configuration, including across multiple monitors. Visual Studio 2019 now supports per-monitor DPI awareness (PMA) across the IDE.
