Hello All,

did you ever faced issue with low resolution / big size of Lotus Notes icons as "Rescheduled; High priority; Pencil; Accepted Invitation; Security;.... ?

 

Any ideas how to get the size correct please ?

 

Thank for any ideas :)

Are these view icons?

and I have to say honestly I don;t understand what the problem you are seeing is

 

Maybe you could include a screenshot of them working as you expect (without your OS settings as low res/big size)?

I can't say I've seen it on view icons, no.

Are you On Windows 10 using any new resolution settings?

I know there are "show big fonts" settings in Notes, maybe it's interacting in ways I haven't seen.

this is the expectation

Hi,

I am running win 7, this change of LT icons appearance begin after last update.

This is what I would expect:

Smaller icons, high resolution - not the icons which are too big and look like from MS-DOS times.

 

Thanks

LN icons after upgrade to Release 9.0.1FP7

Today I was prompted to update on my Win7 PC Lotus Notes Client  to Release 9.0.1FP7.

After Notes update I got very ugly icons as already reported. It seems it apply to all icons: icon for attachment, icon for Expand/Colapse, an info icon, message forwarded, rescheduled meeting etc.

Did you ever test it? It's visible in the first second and very annoying. I've rebooted but no change. Seems to be a new feature..

Same here

Hi,

yes, exactly, I have the same issue after the update.

Just FYI - I tried to completely uninstall and install again Lotus Notes and also no change :/

Maybe it is not a bug but feature :)

Are you on a high resolution monitor? If so what version of Notes?

It's the same using external monitor or not.

IBM Notes 9  Social Edition
Release 9.0.1FP7 
Revision 20160826.2200-FP7 (Release 9.0.1FP7) 
Standard Configuration L-GHUS-968PRV 

This is what I see:

If you look arrows, circles, attachment sign, envelope... all this is of wrong resolution... while text, pull down menus are OK.

Black circles on the left are better circles than ones on the right when looking them under high resolution.

Left one:

Right one:

Issue with Notes 9 icon sizes

I have the same problem with image sizes since installing Notes fix pack 7 (Release 9.0.1FP7).    The icons (envelop, accepted, information, attachment, etc.) displayed in any of my folder views are distorted like they have been oversized.  This occurred immediately after installing the fix pack and no other settings were changed (ie. display, graphics, monitor, etc.).  The same thing occurs with all my emoticons in Sametime.

Is there a solution for this?

Windows 7 Display setting is the cause

I had the same problem on my Windows 7 PC after installing Fix Pack 7.

I was able to determine that the problem occurs if the Windows 7 Display setting (which allows you to change the size of text and icons on Windows desktop), is not at the default setting "Smaller - 100%" .

When the Display setting is set to 100%, the icons display correctly. However, if the setting is increased (I had mine set to Custom 120%), then the Notes 9.0.1 FP7 displays the icons incorrectly over-sized/enlarged and out of focus as described by the posts above.

I have opened a ticket internally and hopefully a fix can be identified soon.

If you can live with the default 100% setting for your Windows desktop icons and text, this can be a temporary fix.

See screenshot attached.

Feature Pack 9 is worse

Am I the only who got worse with FP9?

This is the configuration I used with FP8:

With this result:

After installing FP9 when I increase DPI to 125% I always get "cloudy" text and images. Both overriding the DPI configuration in the Notes link or using the system configuration:

I'm thinking about uninstalling the FP9 since this way is really tough to use.

Thank you in advance

same here ...

I have ThinkPad Tablet (10" display with FullHD resolution) which uses display setting to High (150% size).

Before FP9 text was ok, but icons and graphics were smaller than they should be. View icons were upscaled bigger than they they should.

After FP9 icons and graphics are ok, but all texts are blured.

If I change display settings to 100% text is sharp again but very small, and unfortunately it change all apps - so everything is small too.

... what I tried already

I tried:

- (win) Compatibility tab - "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings"

- (ln) notes.ini parameter - Display_font_adjustment=x (with different numbers from -2 to 100)

- (ln) User Preferences - Fonts (diif. fonts a and sizes)

- (win) display settings - zoom from 100% to 150%

And of course very different combinations of settings above.

But Notes demonstrated incredible toughness (once again) ... and I didn't win. So donwgrade to FP7 is only solution - I prefer sharp readable text than scaled icons...

Finally ...

After more tries with downgrades and updgrades various FPs I find (partial) solution.

It is needed to set  "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" in the Compatibility tab in Properties for both nlnotes.exe AND notes2.exe - I did it from Task list.

My final config is 9.0.1 FP9 IF1 with these settings and crisp text but little bit smaller icons.
