    Gadget Scaling issue


    I have a Acer H257HU 1440P Monitor and at 2560X1400 the gadgets don't look right, they look weird. The cpu ram gadget specifically. Whenever I set text at 125% the gadgets look weird and no it's not a IE 11 issue, it's a scaling issue with windows 7. So I don't know how to fix this weird issue.

    Unfortunately , it is an IE 11 issue. Microsoft changed something in IE 11 that effects scaling in Windows 7 and the gadgets are effected as well. There is no "fix" that I am aware of other than to leave text at 100% or install IE 10. I chose IE 10. Someone published a work-around that involved making a change to each gadget but it left them at a smaller size.

    Thank you for your post, Pbcopter. I guess this explains why my CPU Meter gadget quit working after I updated IE 11. I mentioned it the following post last week, when I was trying to figure out a different issues. I have a screen cap in the link that shows the difference in how the gadget displays:

    Strange update behavior?

    This Microsoft Support page says that gadgets are no longer available "because the Windows Sidebar platform in Windows 7 and Windows Vista has serious vulnerabilities."
