Dashboard pngs look different at various screen scalings

I noticed that the current Windows application scaling [Right click on desktop > Display settings > Scale and layout > Change the size of text, apps, and other items] affects how pngs look in dashboards:

If I launch FlexSim with this scaling set to 100% and then change it to the target 125%, everything looks as intended:

However, if I launch FlexSim with this scaling already set to 125%, then the png looks grainy (even though a glance model>packedmedia confirms no compression took place):

Is there a way to set up FlexSim in a way that it launches with the png looking crisp like in the first screenshot even when launched at Windows scaling settings other than 100%?

I am attaching the model used to create those screenshots:

png quality depends on screen scaling when launching the model.fsm

Hey @Przemyslaw Pasich, I believe you can change the scaling for specific apps in Windows, like how it is described in this post I found online:

https://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-to-change-scaling-for-specific-apps-in-windows-11

In this case, I'm guessing you'll want to turn off scaling for FlexSim, which the post should show. But let me know if this setting doesn't do what you're looking for or if I misunderstood anything.
