I have a laptop with external monitors. Moving a toad window from one monitor to another is horribly slow. it takes about 10 seconds and contains lots of redrawing operations with black boxes that come and go! I have a screen grab video that can not be uploaded.
Hi Tim,
In Toad version 2025 R3, we added high-DPI support which means Toad is aware of your display's scaling settings. This allows all text and icons to be as crisp and sharp as possible. An unfortunate side effect of it, as you've discovered is that when you drag Toad between displays of different scalings, Toad has to rescale everything and the process is a bit painful. The more windows you have open, the longer that process takes.
The only things you can do about it are:
- Make your displays the same scaling (I know, probably not practical...)
- Move Toad from one display to the other when it doesn't have a lot of windows open
- Turn off high dpi support. You can do that in Options -> General -> Graphics. Uncheck "Application DPI Awareness". Toad will need to restart. After that, it will drag quickly between displays of different scaling. Some text will still be sharp. Some text, and some icons, might look a little pixelated (but no worse than before Toad version 2025 R3).
