SAP GUI 7.40 PL8 - Bigger dialogs + screens

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I installed SAP GUI 7.40 PL8 on my computer (Win10).

My SAP GUI screens looks now all a little bit bigger than before.

Left is MIRO > Company code pop-up in PL7,

right is MIRO > Company code pop-up in PL8.

(Blue Cystal Theme)

The increased size would help me a lot,

if the SAP GUI runs on a iPad, but what is the benefit on a classic 3-Monitor-Setup ?

My first idea was, that this is linked with DPI scaling.

This is set to 125% on one monitor, the other two runs with 100%.

DPI scaling works for me indepented to this change from PL7 to PL8.

Is there a way, to get the old size back in PL8 with any setting ?

2106323 - SAP GUI for Windows: DPI scaling of the Windows will be supported

I tried to disable DPI scaling with the registry switch,

but no effect. So it seems to be really a change in PL8 nothing todo with DPI scaling.

Same big size in Corbu and SAP Signature Design.

Any hints ?

Best regards,

Tibor

Really strange.

Belongs this behaviour to SAP Personas ?

Screensshots above are from SAP ERP 6.0 EhP7.

ERP 6.0 EhP5 looks even fine with PL8, no difference to PL7.

Seems, Personas is responsible... I have deactivated the Personas according to this. Now the input fields and ALV controls look like before

Meanwhile there is a note, that describes that behavior and how to get rid of it without the need to disable Personas:
