Summary0004129: Would love to see high-dpi support (120,144)
DescriptionThe artwork in this game is beautiful. My desktop has 96 dpi, my laptop 144. The artwork would be stunning if it had 144dpi assets and the rest of the UI scaled appropriately.

I realize you already made a post on this :-) But wanted to comment on it anyway.

I know this is a non-trivial work item -- you need multiple versions of the assets, you can't use pixels as a UOM, etc. But with high-DPI screens predominant on laptops and likely to come to desktop monitors it looks like a good thing to do. LCD screens don't downscale well -- asking users of high-DPI to downscale to get sizing right will result in poor quality images. Given the quality of artwork in AVWW, that would be disappointing.

Not supporting high-DPI shows up as fuzzy graphics/text in the installer and self-update, FWIW.

Agree it's probably not a 1.0 feature.

Whoa, multiple versions of all the art assets? Definitely not the sort of thing I could ever contemplate doing. You also run into tremendous difficulty with things like texture size on various graphics cards, and the RAM goes up close to exponentially.

The art is the scale it is, sorry -- but I'm very glad you're enjoying it so well!
