Are you sure?  I've never noticed Vista's DPI settings affecting many apps' GUI font (esp. config screens).  But, don't mess w/ it that much & most apps don't use quite this small of font OR have this MANY options (having the options is a good thing - just not very small font, sorting thru them).

Yes because I ask Windows what the DPI is and then calculate the fonts size and icon size and other UI elements depending on the DPI value.
Unless there are some special issue with Vista that makes it not work on Vista. But it should work the same as Win7/Win8. Btw Win8.1 is even better it can auto scale the entire program by it self. (But custom support for it will make it look better)

Thanks.  I increased Vista scaling from 110 to 115 DPI.  It did enlarge MC's config screen fonts a bit.  But, after changing Windows DPI, had to close tree view pane in MC, to resize some columns hidden - scroll bar didn't extend far enough AFTER making DPI change.  Resize columns - again - & save as default.   

Oddly, increasing DPI didn't enlarge the fonts in navigation or browser panes in Explorer.

Checked a few apps after DPI increase.  Some changed UI font size, some can't tell a difference.  Back in XP, remember I had problems w/ some apps' UIs - text running / cutting off on fixed size UIs, if set DPI to 115 or bit more.  So far, no problems in Vista.  I'm sure something will turn up.

XP and DPI did not work great. It has got a lot better and even a lot better in Win8.1

Most Apps does not care about DPI. That why Win8.1 include application scaling unless your app opt-in as DPI aware.
