volkonov4 Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 When Windows (XP pro) is installed you always start with a dpi of 96, the problem is I run a resolution of 1280*960 (crt screen) and I find it more relaxed for my eyes when I us dpi 120, its not a lot of work to change but it would be nice if I can start after the unattended with dpi 120. Does any one of you know how it must be done I thought a reg tweak so I have readied the reg tweak topic but it couldn’t help me.I hope one of you can.
MHz Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 You can put your resolution into a winnt.sif file. The dpi is fixed for a monitor?

Incroyable HULK Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 I think you get 120dpi by enabling ClearType Font in the Display Property. Right?Here is my tweak:;Enable ClearType for ALL Users[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]"FontSmoothing"="2""FontSmoothingType"="2"

Incroyable HULK Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 humm sorry about that. I didn't understand your question correctly!I tought you where talking about enhanced resolution... in fact you want to have BIGGER text? One way of doing it is to go into Display Property where you can ajust the Wallpaper, Screensaver and you can specify FONT SIZE: LARGE FONT.Return to the Theme tab and select Save as...Next, put this custom .theme file in \$OEM$\$$\Resources\ThemesNext you'll add this to your Winnt.sif[Shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile="%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\xxx.theme"Hope this help!

That's also what I'm looking for too...
Sgt_Strider Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 bump, can someone answer my questions in the post above?
Sgt_Strider Posted July 30, 2005 Posted July 30, 2005 I'm just skeptical because there are quite a bit of registry tweaks needed to get 120DPI.
Gabe The Nerd Posted July 30, 2005 Posted July 30, 2005 (edited) Just FYI, you can use the above said reg tweaks to set any DPI. For example, I prefer 125 DPI. All you have to do is change the ["LogPixels"=dword:] value to the hex number of your DPI. Ex: mine is 0000007d=125. It's just the DPI in hexadecimel. I believe that the rest of the setting changes stay the same as for above said DPI changes. Edited July 30, 2005 by Gabe The Nerd

I don't get 120DPI with this registry setting:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontDPI]"LogPixels"=dword:00000078Are you sure that I don't need to use the other registry settings that the previous poster gave?
