I have a Surface Pro with 2736x1824 resolution and 200% text size, (recommended values), but the font is small for my eyes.
If I increase the scale 225% PowerBuilder looks blurry, bigger the texts but blurry.

Any solutions?

In this article there is a solution but it is not perfect:

In the past, when complaining about DPI with 1920x1080 res. and 125% scaling, I found a solution which was based upon replacing the W10 display DPI driver with the windows 8.x version. That seemed to do the trick.

Maybe it still works?

Thanks for the alternative, the Windows 10 is cleaner, I think it must be a solution to be made by Appeon in the IDE. When will the new IDE come out?

you can also simply drop the resolution down from 2736x1824 to something that allows you to read without changing text size.  that is what i ended up doing with my surface
