Hello,

I found a workaround for the problem.

(1)
You can go to the Dexpot installation folder and look for plugins > Dexcube.exe
If you didn't customize the installation path, the folders are found at:
C:\Program Files\Dexpot\plugins
C:\Program Files (x86)\Dexpot\plugins

(2)
Click once on Dexcube.exe, then right-click on Dexcube.exe
Go to the Compatibility tab and check the box for "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings"
Click OK, restart Dexpot, and there you go.

BTW, if you are using bootcamp / VM, it is possible to mimic the panning effect on OSX spaces by seting the Dexcube wall or plate transitions to Maximum zoom. This seemed counter-intuitive to me at first... but I'm glad I figured this out.

Regards,
Anran

Hello,

Thanks for making it so easy to make a new feature request!

I'm noticing that dexpot's dexcube transitions (e.g. Wall and Plate) do not seem to support Windows 8.1's high dpi settings. Just a heads up, Windows XP-styled scaling has been removed from Windows 8.1 settings as well.

Cheers,
Anran
