Hello !

I would like to adapt some geometry parts of the GUI
to the currently active Windows 7 font scaling persent -

without to manifeset the application as DPI awared (yet).

Is it possible to get the OS' percent value in this context, please ? :)

The following assertion is never failed now, even at 150% scaling:

ASSERT(96 == ::GetDeviceCaps(::GetDC(NULL), LOGPIXELSX));

Thank you ! :)

Thanks, the following storing place seems to be right for me:
