My dear Boki you misunderstood me, there is nothing wrong with your values, I just explained how the dpi variations in the sys work.

When I said that the result was a case I was not referring to you but to what Blackttulip wrote:

At dpi = 270 is perfect for the Keyboard

At dpi = 290 is perfect for the app

if he tried as values dpi= 250 dpi and dpi=270, would not change anything, both values would have been adapted to the nearest default value ....... 240

The functioning of the dpi can be summarized as follows:

Small variations in dpi values do not match relative small screen variations,

the dpi values that are used by the program are only these: 120, 160, 240, 320, 480, 640,

every other intermediate value that is set is adapted by the program to the nearest default value, or lower or higher.

If anyone intends to do further tests even using the base_dpi =, he is welcome.

If Blackttulip wants to vary the size of the keyboard only, he must follow the advice of Phildu.

True, but I never talked about "resolution", (if you look closely I have never used this term), but of "density". The unit of measure would be the PPI, (Pixel Per Inch), and not DPI, (Dot Per Inch), but I wrote what usually happens that they are confused;

"(PPI and dpi actually represent different things but for practical purposes we can say that they match)"

What happens when you set the parameters out of range?

The maximum value is used, ie 640, I wrote that I tried to set 800 but the screen remained the one of the value 640.

It is very interesting then, instead of reducing the size of objects, NextGen it actually increases them. Why? I do not know.

In reality with "standard" resolutions the proportions are regular, these things happen with "anomalous" resolutions, in which all proportions are not maintained.

By changing the dpi we can get small "adjustments", we cannot think of solving everything with the variation of dpi, also because variations of the whole screen are obtained, or larger, (closer), or small, (more distant).

To get variations of particular things like buttons, windows, etc., we need to work on the Skin where the dimensions are set, but we need to know what we're doing, otherwise we have to settle for .....

This has been asked before by others and me.
In android ver pal, pongo skin how can the map fonts be changed.?
At the moment by default there are 2 types. One is white with black shadow. This one is OK
The other is transparent with white border. The letters are very small and close together and whenever they display they are unreadable.
Sorry I dont have another picture at the moment
