Hi,

In attached image, one can see that High DPI scaling (4K) is not so good. I have resized icons in palette section from fixed 16px to 48px in order to reach better user experience, but still many icons are just tidy, because they are hardcoded 16px. Also some text is small as well. If one changes zoom in view, text in model elements starts to overflow randomly. Anybody know, is this planned somehow to be fixed/enhanced in this or next release? Thanks

BR, Lukas

I've found out that this might be related to Eclipse bug described here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=421383

Which was marked as solved in 4.5

Does that mean that Archi is using older version of Eclipse as basis?

Archi is based on Eclipse 4.4. Unfortunately there are a few bugs and issues in 4.5 that mean we can't use it for Archi. Even though Eclipse bugs are reported they do not seem to get fixed. Here's an example - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=485931

Thanks, I voted for that issue and added also comment stating I'm experiencing same issue. More people complaining will hopefully force them to take a look on this. :)

My initial idea was to try 4.6M5 or latest Eclipse snapshot that is about 10 days old, but I'm unsure if I like to go this way to build Archi because my line manager wants me to use it. :))

By the way I found Archi as one of most advanced and user convenient tool out in wild for Archimate. So really good job. Along with https://www.simplyarchimate.com/ that at lest for me looks a bit more modern look but lacks a lot of advanced features right now.
