When choosing the best app builder software for Mac, we use many heuristics and yardsticks to measure and justify our decision. But the irony is if our decision is wrong, our company and our client also have to pay the price. We should be very logical and careful when choosing our development tools. There are many tools and routes available for Mac development. We should consider several things in…
There is a very exciting improvement in Delphi, C++Builder and RAD Studio 11.0 Alexandria: the IDE now fully supports high DPI scaling on high-resolution screens. This means that if you use Windows and have a 4K or similar high-res display, the IDE will render crisply and…
Embarcadero is pleased to announce the release of Delphi 11, C++Builder 11 and RAD Studio 11. RAD Studio 11 Alexandria builds on the feature set of the 10.4 releases and offers many new features, including an improved user experience with a High DPI IDE.

Have you ever accessed a website on your mobile device and found that it was formatted for desktop and nearly unreadable on a 5″ screen? Similar problems occur for users running high-DPI screens. As 4K screens proliferate and the consumer pressure for 8K grows, it’s important to adjust user interfaces to prevent forms and controls from becoming unreadably small on high-resolution…
In my previous post I focused on InterBase 2020 and outlined five good reasons why InterBase should be your next database engine. In this post I want to look at five awesome additions to Delphi that help you write lean, modern and fully compliant Windows 10 applications.

Windows 10 and Modern High DPI Display Support in Delphi and C++Builder
September 13, 2019
Display sizes and resolutions today are often significantly higher resolution than a few years ago.On the machine where I’m writing,I haveone 1920×1080 24″ external display (once considered a really good size!)plusthe…
Often times when we talk about monitors we discuss resolution (e.g.1920×1080) and diagonal dimensions (e.g. 27” or 68.58 cm), but we can use these numbers to calculate the DPI (see More on DPI and PPI below) with the good ol’ Pythagorean theorem. As the screen gets larger, the DPI gets lower, unless you also increase the resolution.
DPI = (sqrt(sqr(width)+sqr(height))/diagonal

In RAD Studio 10 Seattle, we’ve added per-DPI awareness in the VCL. This means that, when moving a form from one monitor to another one that has different DPI, the VCL form and the controls will be rescaled according to the new DPI, with no…
