Default Blurred WLM With High DPI

It's working just fine for me with 158 DPI and ClearType.

Hello - per a recent posting on the Windows 7 blog
(http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/200...esolution.aspx)
, I decided to up my DPI to 120 and am very pleased with the results
overall. Everything from photos and internet sites are much crisper
and
easier to read. Everything except for the WLM Beta - the title bar
is clear,
but all menus, text and icons below the title bar are blurred.
Attached is
a pic showing an IE window in the background and WLM in the
foreground.

Does the new WLM work at anything besides a default DPI?

Default Blurred WLM With High DPI

Thanks DSH - after reading your note, I searched a bit more and discovered
that if you set a custom DPI AND check the box to "Use Windows XP style DPI
scaling", it seems to clear up the issue.
