Seamless adaption to higher DPI when I work remotely on my work Windows machine. The RDP clients will just expand the desktop and everything is very small when I WFH. mstsc will change the size of everything but legacy apps according to the DPI of the display.
Did you set the DPI in your RDP client? I had this too with my Windows VM, and it would just reset whenever I’d change it in Windows. Changed it in the FreeRDP flags and now the scale is correct, Windows applies 150% whenever I RDP in.
/scale-desktop is the one that controls the Windows side, whereas /scale controls the local side, so in this case Windows scales and I display it as-is, but you can also do the reverse and save some bandwith if the legacy app would just bitmap scale anyway.
Thanks I’ll look into it when I get some downtime! I already found the scaling by 125 or 150 percent options, but they really scale things pixel by pixel, which is very ugly and tiring on the eyes.
