When I save a trainer as an EXE and run it. The Display Scaling never works unless I set the High DPI Scaling Override to System on the EXE. I've tried a bunch of things and nothing seems to work. Is there some setting I need to enable to get this working without having to enable the Override? I've tried turning DPI Aware On/Off and set the main form Scaled to True/False. I would really like to get it working without having to enable the Override. Thanks!

Here's some examples and charts to get an idea.
Try correcting based on user display DPI.

Or test what results you get on different PCs.

And set our Trainer form to the DPI that is suitable for you.

Code:
myForm1.DesignTimePPI = 96
myForm1.PixelsPerInch = 96


Test Form:
Code:
print("Your Screen DPI: "..getScreenDPI())
DP1=getScreenDPI()/96

if myForm1 then myForm1.Destroy() myForm1=nil end
myForm1=createForm()
myForm1.PopupMode=0 myForm1.caption="Test DPI Form1"
myForm1.Position="poDesktopCenter" myForm1.ShowInTaskBar="stAlways"
myForm1.BorderStyle="bsSingle"

myForm1.DesignTimePPI = 96
myForm1.PixelsPerInch = 96

and when using rhe designer set autosize to true and always use anchors to describe each control.

e.g button1 has to be left of button 2, and button 2 is 50 pixels to the border of the form, etc...

that way autosize will know where to put the controls dealing with different dpi's for you
