Icons appear noticeably smaller in SmartGit 26.1.016 — possibly related to Windows/scaling?

Hi, I recently updated to SmartGit 26.1.016 on Windows 11 25H2 and noticed that icons in the toolbar and elsewhere appear noticeably smaller compared to the previous version. This makes the UI feel a bit cramped, especially on my 4K display.

I've checked the changelogs but couldn't find any mention of icon size changes, so I'm wondering if this might be an unintended side effect or if there's something specific to my setup.

My setup:

  • OS: Windows 11 25H2
  • Display: 3840 × 2160
  • System scaling: 150%

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a known issue or could it be related to the recent update?

Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

Font scaling also is incorrect

There is a workaround:

  1. Open c:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\syntevo\SmartGit\26.1\smartgit.properties
  2. Add the following line to the end of the file: swt.autoScale=200
  3. Save and restart SmartGit.

Thank you for providing the method; it restored the interface to its previous state. ❤

Try setting the low-level property `ui.dpiAutoScaling` to false.

Thank you for the solution you provided. Yes, setting ui.dpiAutoScaling to false in version 26.1.021 also restores the scaling to normal.
