Why Trust Us

Question:
I am developing an application in Delphi 2.0 on a 1024×768 resolution (large fonts), and have been trying to get it to act properly in 800×600 mode with little success. Borland has a short informational TI that describes how to get around this, but it does not resize the form properly. Any suggestions?

Answer:
I see this problem all the time. Make sure that you set your PixelsPerInchfor all your forms to 120. It defaults at 96, which causes scaling problemsat a lower resolution.
