HighDPI support about sikulix1 HOT 5 CLOSED

Try with Java 10:
the net says, that Java 10 now automatically scales Java apps like SikuliX IDE run as
java -jar sikulix.jar

I cannot test it, since I do not have a hiDPI display.

But I can confirm, that on my MacBook Pro Retina the scaling worked since Java 7 and now with Java 10 everything is clear and non-blurry (hence something has again changed to even better).

Has anyone with a hiDPI display and newer versions of Java tried this? Wow! This would be incredibly useful (even if you had to match 'factors' of scaling....as in the past switching to my MacBook Pro 15" broke most scripts).

If you know the scaling factor, that has to be applied to all images, to work in the new environment, then you can use
Settings.AlwaysResize = <factor>
where <factor> is a decimal denoting the scaling to be applied.
Internally the scaling will be applied to every image before it is used in search.

Just tested on Windows 10:

• with Java 8 having taken images with a scaling factor of 100% (Windows screen settings) a factor of 1.2 helps, when running the script with scaling of 125%.

• with Java 13 nothing has to be done in this scenario. The search works and even the mouse position is correct.
  (if you are interested in using Java 13 on Windows 10, come back for the HowTo)

I now really have to find a way now to understand all this, be able to test it and tell SikuliX how to deal with it - and talk about in the docs finally.
