When I change the display settings in Windows 8 to zoom everything to 200%, the entire chrome window is optically zoomed. The toolbar icons and web page content are all blurry. It seems Windows 8 treats chrome as a non-dpi-aware application. IE behaves much better in high-dpi settings. The icons automatically switch to high-resolution images and the web page content stays sharp and clear. 

Are we planning to fix this issue? I tested with Chrome m34.

Have you seen the thread "[chromium-dev] Windows --high-dpi-support flag is going away - Now use the registry."?

oh. I just read that post. However, the registry setting mentioned in that post doesn't seem to work for the current release of m34. I guess this is something still in progress.
