Any news on the updated version including the Steam Guide button fix? :)

That registry key implemented in the latest Steam beta is unfortunately a bit buggy and unreliable. The person who I am communicating with about that is apparently on a leave, so please be patient. I'll release an update as soon as possible.

XBStart version 2.1.9 stable released.

please apply the below fix again:

fixed windows showing incorrectly on high DPI settings

it seems in the latest version the issue is happening again

I don't see any issues on high DPI. Did you tick by any chance "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" in xbstart.exe properties?

This is the same exact issue in version prior to 2.1.6. setting the scaling size to 125% shows incorrect position of the content in the help screen, even when disabling high dpi scaling as shown below:

Strange, I'm not able to reproduce this behaviour. I'll try later.

i can confirm this too, while the new guide button fix work as expected.

 

edit: looks like this happens when you select 125% for all displays.

 

i can get the menu to display better if, i select to run the program with "Windows 8 Compatibility settings", also played around with making the title bar smaller via the custom scale settings, all seem to help!

For all of you having problems with DPI scaling:

 

Please redownload and reinstall 2.1.9 version. It should be ok now.

thanks for the update oomek,

 

working perfectly now at 125% scaling for all screens!

Thanks a LOT for this update. Steam Big Picture finally works with your great application :)

This app seems like just what I'm looking for... but I can't get to the website to download. Anyone else having trouble getting to it? Or is there a mirror for d/l. Thanks!
