The button of the window cannot work normally by dual monitors

Share icon

When using dual monitors with resolutions 2560x1440 and 3840x2160, Igor Pro 8 works fine, but with Igor Pro 9, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons in the upper right corner of the window do not function properly. What could be the reason for this?

Does anyone know how to solve it?

This is a known problem when using two displays, one of which is High-DPI (typically a new-ish laptop) and one or more which is standard DPI (most monitors that aren't labeled as 4K).

First, I think that this problem may not be present in IP9, though I'm not certain of that. If you have a license for IP9, you might give that a try. If not, you can download the demo version to test, but you may need to purchase an upgrade to continue using IP9 after the demo period expires.

Otherwise, there are two options that usually address this problem:

1. Open the Miscellaneous Settings dialog (Misc->Miscellaneous Settings menu item). Select the Miscellaneous category, and check the "Use Fusion Style" checkbox.

2. Execute the following command to bring up the relevant help topic:

DisplayHelpTopic "Windows High-DPI Recommendations"

Then follow the recommendations in that topic.
