John, sorry for the long delay, I updated my MXE build scripts.



I can confirm with a nice picture, that everything looks nice again =)

Ok - pushed https://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/rev/8da894159471

It should now be using dialog units instead of pixels which may help.

You will need run configure again in order to update the makeinst-script.sh

From comment #6 of Bug # 57600:

From its docs:
NSIS does not scale the bitmap used by the tree control on the component page and some plugins might have compatibility issues so make sure that you test your installer at different DPI settings if you select true.
So settings it may cause other side effects.


So am guessing this is a side effect

I believe its the only screen we create ourselves - ie: all others are default install pages, so its probably just a matter of use not adjusting sizes in some way needed when on a highdpi monitor

Maybe related to the changes of bug #57600.  Only this particular menu is affected, the rest looks good.  Maybe there is something less complicated that can be done for Octave 6.1?
