Thanks Tarquin, now I understand the problem. It is apparently feasible as aven has no such problems, but I am not able to find the correct magic words in its source code that do the magic. It will definitely take some time to solve this problem.
In any case, you can disable scaling for loch application manually by rightclicking on loch.exe and selecting: Properties -> Compatibility -> Change high DPI settings And then selecting High DPI scaling override, scaling performed by application. If someone knows where to set this behavior during installation or program execution, I would be very thankful. S.
