Why is some of the text in my WPF 4.5 application still blurry?
I don't understand. I am going crazy - no matter what I do, the text in my WPF application is blurry. Well, some of it - one of the text elements is focused, and so are the close/minimize buttons. I have applied the TextOptions.TextRenderingMode="ClearType" and TextOptions.TextFormattingMode="Display" to the elements directly, and I have also tried applying it to the MainWindow.xaml, which is created by default using the ModernUI for WPF framework.
I'm going nuts - all the literature I find says this was fixed, but I'm still dealing with the issue. (I've changed the font to Calibri/Consolas and also played with the size and weight - still blurry.)
How can I fix this?
Edit: If I use the monitor I have at work (resolution 1920x1200) with standard DPI settings, I'm not so sure I have the issue. On the laptop display I am using I have a very high resolution (2880x1620) with the text scaling set to larger. On this display is where I'm currently seeing the text as "not crisp". I should also note that in the designer, the text appears fine. It is when the application runs that the text looks terrible.
So, I found out my issue is specifically with the Modern UI Framework. I'm not sure why. I switched over to using MahApps.Metro and I have no issues with font clarity.
