Widget blurry text

Post by preech »

I stopped using coretemp's widget since I got a bigger monitor where I set Custom Scaling Factor to 125.
(It is easier to read text with an increased scaling)

But the widget became blurry. Not every widget is affected, but Coretemp's is.

I wonder if this could be fixed somehow.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
I did actually fix it, but it turns out, 8gadgetpack already had some registry tweaks to fix widgets that broke due to scaling.
( the registry files are hidden inside %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Windows Sidebar\8GadgetPack\ folder )
