Hey all, 

currently working on some new GUI and I have noticed odd scaling problems when moving GUI between my monitors 2k Screen and 4K. When i move it from my 2k screen too my 4k screen the GUI doesn't maintain the same aspect ratio. 

I am using both maya 2018 and 2020, having the same problem on both. 


Any help would be appreciated,

It doesn't really seem like a Maya specific problem. More so about DPI support in Qt and how the app is written to support it properly. I've never had to develop for that in the past and only now have a similar situation where I have a High DPI laptop screen and a low DPI lcd monitor, in dual display. I have to use a scaling factor and there are some apps that just look wrong depending on the screen it's on. 
Seems like a complicated situation to account for: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/highdpi.html
