In my case, I have a Surface Pro. The default resolution is 1920x1080 with a 150% scaled font. mIRC's text looks fuzzy and blurry and somewhat difficult to read. When enabling the compatibility option of disable scaling on high DPI displays; mIRC's text looks great but is now super tiny. Please re-work the app to handle this. Also, a metro-based IRC app would bring in a lot of cash; please release one! Thanks.

Edit: wait, I got my dates wrong. Has this been implemented? It's still not fixed for me, mIRC 7.29 . Last edited by frodo; 20/06/13 07:50 AM.
