General - CodeRush font rendering

created 7 years ago

Hello DevExpress Support,

I have ClearType disabled and have Visual Studio set up to use fonts that render well without ClearType.

But many of the CodeRush windows, dialogs and popups unfortunately use their own fonts that do not render well with ClearType disabled.

for example:
- everything in the CodeRush options dialog
- all the Text-Editor popups like "Declare", "Jump to XYZ", …
- Toolbar tooltips
- References window (screenshot attached)
- …

In the screenshot you can see the poor font rendering of almost everything inside the References window except the line numbers and the reference count

Could you please add CodeRush options to change the fonts used in any CodeRush window, dialog or popup?

Or, as an alternative, use only fonts that are already defined in Visual Studio Options / Environment / Fonts and Colors, like: "Text Editor", "Codelens", "Editor Tooltip", "Environment", etc.

best regards…

    The build is ready.
    DevExpress.CodeRush.Package.vsix
    But it has no revision version, and contains a special controls set with fixes. So would you please turn off the "Automatically update extensions" option on the Tools\Options\Environment\Extension and Updates options page.
    If this build resolves the issue with blurred fonts in options pages on your side, then we will push these changes in our main branch.

      Hello Artem,

      all the CodeRush UI elements render with sharp text on my side.

      Thank you very much.
