Atlantis icon gets out of focus on larger settings

[357mag]

I've noticed that if I go into Control Panel and go into the Display part and where it says make items larger I cannot adjust it to anything beyond the default which is 100 percent.

If I set it to 125 or 150 the Atlantis icon on the desktop becomes blurry and ragged looking.

No other program icon on my computer does this. They can all handle getting enlarged. But Atlantis cannot.

Just wanted to report this.

This is not happening in the more recent versions of Windows 10 which include automatic adjustment of display settings for most applications whenever the ratio exceeds 100%.
Note that version 1 and version 2 of Atlantis have icons that are not “DPI-aware”. These icons are blurred under any other display settings than 100%.
On the other hand, version 3 of Atlantis includes icons and a GUI that are “DPI-aware”. They are not blurred under Windows 10.

I'm using Windows 7 currently. And I also used Windows 8.1. Windows 10 will get used very infrequently.

A fix would be welcome. To assume that most people will always use Microsoft's latest operating system is not the correct way to proceed here.

This is a well-known generic problem with any applications under previous versions of Windows. This is not something that can be addressed by Atlantis. It is a system-wide problem with older Windows versions.
Here is from How to Make Windows Work Better with Super High Resolution Displays:

As much as you might love your old OS (I’m looking at you, Windows 7 devotees), you might have to reluctantly drag yourself into the present if you want to fully utilize your display.

Here is from How to make the Windows desktop look good on high-DPI displays:

Finally, you should upgrade to Windows 8.1 if you haven’t already. The free upgrade to Windows 8 includes a number of new features designed to benefit high-density displays. New features include the ability to increase UI scaling all the way up to 200% and automatic scaling adjustment for multiple monitors, so you can pair a regular-density external monitor with your high-DPI laptop, and both will receive the appropriate amount of scaling.

The recent versions of Atlantis include high-res icons. They do not look blurry on the Windows 7 Desktop under "125%" or "150%".

Don't know about that because I download and installed the new version of Atlantis and the desktop icon was still blurry.

And Atlantis is the only icon that has this issue on my machine.
