When working with high resolution screens, the Designer's user interface looks tiny and/or incomplete.

SOLUTION

• Change Windows' SideBySide behavior in the Registry:
  • Open regedit as an Administrator
  • Select the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > SideBySide
  • Right click in the righ pane and choose NEW > DWORD (32 bit) Value
  • Give it the name "PreferExternalManifest"
  • Double click PreferExternalManifest and give it Value 1 as Decimal.
  • Close regedit
  • Now windows will detect specific "Manifest" files when launching programs
• Create a Manifest file for Stambia DI Designer
  • Create a Text file named "stambia.exe.manifest" in the Designer's directory
  • File content:

• <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
  <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
      <description>stambia</description>
      <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
          <security>
              <requestedPrivileges>
                  <requestedExecutionLevel xmlns:ms_asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3"
                                 level="asInvoker"
                                 ms_asmv3:uiAccess="false">
                  </requestedExecutionLevel>
              </requestedPrivileges>
          </security>
      </trustInfo>
      <asmv3:application>
          <asmv3:windowsSettings xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">
              <ms_windowsSettings:dpiAware xmlns:ms_windowsSettings="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">false</ms_windowsSettings:dpiAware>
          </asmv3:windowsSettings>
      </asmv3:application>
  </assembly>

• Restart the Designer
