Hello,

I’m working in Processing 4.0b7.

When I export my program (file-\>export application) and choose Windows, the exported program works fine. However, the size of the window is larger than when I run the program from the script editor. It scales everything such that my images appear pixelated in the executable version. Any help is much appreciated. thanks!

I had the same issue. Exported from Processing 3 and worked fine.

for the record, here’s the difference of the window from withind IDE (right) and exported windows app (left):

```auto
void setup()
{
  size(300, 150);
}

void draw()

{
  background(100);
  ellipse(100,50,50,50);
  text("test", 20, 30);
}

```

Im assuming its a bug or some scaling issue with version 4

Looks like it’s a pixel density issue: [pixelDensity() not working in Windows applications · Issue #487 · processing/processing4 · GitHub](https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/487)

If you specify the renderer:

`size(300, 150, P3D);`

the issue is solved, both PDE and exported applications are fine.
