Checkbox size in Task Moduel in 8.64

Post by sdillo »

Not sure if this is a requested 8.64 feature, but the completion checkbox size in the Task module is larger than in version 8.63. The first letter of the task in 8.64 touches the completion checkbox.

I am back again. When I ran 8.64 Pro Portable on my FHD 1920 x 1080 laptop, the checkbox was a little bigger than 8.63 Pro, but did not touch the first letter of the task.

Back on my 3200x1800 laptop running 8.64 pro portable, I noticed in the Calendar module, that the first two tasks text were white instead of black and hard to see and shown below:

Therefore, I changed the 8.64 Pro EssentialPIM.exe file properties High DPI scaling override from Application to System (Enhanced) as shown below:

As a result, the first tow tasks text that were white have changed to black and the task checkbox was no longer touching the first letter of the task text as shown below:

The Windows 10 Display Scale and layout has a custom scale factor of 300% and Advanced scaling settings (Let Windows try to fix apps so they're not blurry) is turned on. The advanced display settings are shown below:

Also attached is the EPIM.INI Main Form 3200x1800 setting that I am using.

Thank you for this workaround!! Helped me, too. Task and date entries were white after update to 8.64 and checkboxes to big, and i did not know how to fix it.

We'll address the issue in the upcoming 8.65 version, so that things get back to normal.
Android version of EssentialPIM. Keep all your data in sync!
