Hi guys,

OS: Windows 10  
Ignition version: Version: 8.1.2 (b2021020311)  
Java Version: 11.0.9+11-LTS (from gateway status page)

Issue:  
If my windows display scaling is set to 125%, then the vision client scales up and you end up only seeing part of the screen.

I've tried the workaround outlined in this thread:

> [@7.9.10 Upgrade - Scale Issues](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/7-9-10-upgrade-scale-issues/21245):

> I just upgraded the gateway to version 7.9.10 and when I launch a client the scaling is off and it looks like total crap. Im getting a blocky pixel look, and the client isn’t fully visible in the window. Any ideas on the culprit?

but this doesn't seem to work on Java 11:  
_As a workaround, could you try something for me and let me know if it works for you:_

_1. Could you use the new Client Launcher and create a desktop shortcut (or use one that you previously created from the new Client Launcher)_  
_2. right click the shortcut and select properties._  
_3. append `-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=1.0` to the “target” field._  
_4. Launch the designer or vision client._

I've also treid the following, none of which worked:  
-Dsun.java2d.dpiaware=false  
-Dsun.java2d.uiScale.enabled=false  
-Dsun.java2d.win.uiScaleX=1.0 -Dsun.java2d.win.uiScaleY=1.0

Does anyone know how to disable the UI scaling on so that Ignition 8.1 vision client ignores windows scaling setting?
