QT User Interface for 4K monitor and 1.5 scale factor

Is there a built-in solution to solve the problem of different scaling factor for 4K (high-DPI) monitors when working with Qt UI?

That's the thing, that's exactly what's not working..... It looks like something on the 3DS MAX system side is blocking Qt High DPI support.

beta board of what? max or qt? 

 

I'm kind of not really sure what to complain about... I just don't see a clean way how to use the "UI scaling factor" when working with stylesheets.

I haven't found a satisfactory solution to this issue yet, so I've temporarily halted or significantly minimized the use of Qt for the UI in my tool development.

I meant the max beta board. I was searching there and the answers I found, did not impress me much.

My personal conclusion after reading some threads is: Don't use scaling. For my application I recommend 2560x1440 monitors.

  Haha... Unlike me, you can dictate to your clients which monitors to use and at what resolution. ☝️😎

They usually can't get anything out of Max without my software, so they have to accept my restrictions 🙄
