Plugin UI for HiDPI Windows for Live

Btw, I initially didn’t notice this post from a couple of days ago:

Experimental Windows high DPI support on develop branch

We’ve just released experimental support for building DPI aware applications on Windows 8.1+ to the develop branch. This means that JUCE projects built with these changes will be per-monitor DPI aware and will dynamically scale with the DPI of the monitor that they are on, replacing the previous behaviour which was to always use the DPI of the main monitor and to defer to Windows to bitmap stretch the UI on other monitors (often resulting in blurry text, graphics etc.). Alongside this, the VST …

I just tried building my plugin using the latest develop branch and it now seems to scale correctly in Live 10. However, the plugin still looks tiny (not scaled) when I open it with PluginHost - not sure why.

I am not using any images (just the default JUCE widgets) so I guess it’s OK if the framework takes care of all the scaling at this stage (since those controls are vector-based and there’s no need to switch images etc.). I have no idea how all that is supposed to work with images though (but I suppose it’s hard given that only few existing plugins seems to support HiDPI?).
