Still works fine. High DPI stuff is a dick but that’s about it.

Eh, high dpi has always been a mess given the hacks adobe and windows assumed in the past.
I implemented a WPF control to look like a winform control and ran into a issue of the vintage control looking perfect at an odd (9px by 9px) native pixel size that gets distorted by WPF when rendered at different scaling.

Visual Studio's + sign expanders have had this bug for years that was finally fixed by changing to a chevron shape in 2022. Clearly this problem bugged someone on the dev team hence the fix. =)
