I want to preface this post with a couple things. I play on a 27" 1440p monitor (ROG SWIFT PG279Q), I sit about a meter from my screen. I deal with text on a daily basis (I'm a software developer) and I'm looking at a screen most of the day.
I regularly get headaches from looking at Aurora's UI only because of how small it is at 1440p. Combine this with contrast between text and colours on the UI I have to regularly strain my eyes to make out some text which causes the aforementioned headaches. I have tried increasing the scaling on my monitor to 125% which makes most of the UI readable, but all the text becomes extremely blurry, to the point where it also causes headaches trying to make out different characters.
I understand that Aurora has a very complicated UI where it would involve a lot of work to ensure the UI is scalable to different resolutions, specifically, since Aurora is configured to be played on 1080p, it would scale up by 50% when being played on 1440p. I understand that scaling down to fit on smaller screens isn't feasible due to how many UI elements Aurora has, but surely scaling upwards shouldn't require rearranging of UI elements?. As I was digging around for a solution, the closest I got is changing Aurora.exe -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Change High DPI Settings -> High DPI scaling override -> Application. This ensures that the text is crystal clear when playing on 125% Windows scaling. However, some interface elements are cut off which makes this solution not usable. If it weren't for this, I could play with this setting and not have to endure headaches.
Interestingly, this issue only exists on a handful of window; most windows are fine, I've included screenshots of the problematic windows.
I've I'd take a guess, I'd say that most, if not all, windows have a maximum window size. Due to the increase in font size, some scaling elements on the UI are pushing other elements that are anchored to said element out of the bounds of the window, and due to the window being limited in size, it can't scale to fit it's contents. Either making sure Aurora is DPI aware by uniformly increasing the scale of it's windows (WinForms should have an API to do this out of the box with very little effort needed, though I could be wrong, happy to provide my findings on this), or unlocking the maximum size of windows are two fixes that come to mind (keep in mind that I'm in no way saying that either of these solutions require little work).
I want to clarify that this is a minor accessibility issue but I hope that this could get some attention, surely I'm not the only one using a screen with a higher resolution.
