[Bug 44992] New: Setting dpi in winecfg has no effect on application

Bug ID: 44992
           Summary: Setting dpi in winecfg has no effect on application
           Product: Wine
           Version: 3.6
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

I am using a "low" resolution monitor set at 1280x1024 and I have been setting
the dpi in winecfg to 128 otherwise the fonts are too small.  With version 3.6,
however, the application still looks like it is set at 96 and changing the
value in winecfg has no effect.

The application is called Scrivener and it does have the ability to set the
font and size of the menu and other panes.  It also has the ability to zoom on
the editor pane.  Unfortunately, it now has to be set much higher than usual.

It should be noted that winecfg, task manager, etc do change.  There was an
instance when the font did not change in these but I can't reproduce.  It may
have happened when trying to upgrade an existing wineprefix.

Probably the app explicitly specifies that it doesn't support high DPI, we
recently started respecting that setting. Ultimately such apps will get
pixel-scaled, but that's not implemented yet.

You can override the app by setting its execution options, something like this:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution
Options\your-exe-name-here.exe]
"dpiAwareness"=dword:00000001

screenshot of task manager

I edited the registry like you said.  There are minor differences in the width
of some elements, but all is good.

I've attached a screenshot of the task manager with the small font.
