has anyone tried the windows 8.1 preview with xplorer2?

Planning to test the final.

Works great! Is there any particular feature you want me to test out?

I had a couple of guys writing in saying that it doesn't work at all, so I guess it isn't that bad after all

I have been trying out Windows 8.1. No real problems with the use of Xplorer2, until I changed the DPI settings with 8.1's new window scaling option, to allow scaling of fonts for high resolution devices. At the "smaller" setting(default), Xplorer2 looks fine, but when taken medium, which finally stops me from squinting to read whats on the screen, Xplorer2 renders the fonts in both the menu and in the UI fuzzy. There are a few other applications I have this problem with, which don't scale well with the DPI adjustment. Chrome is probably the biggest offender. I don't know if this is something that can be addressed or something I will just have to live with.

Found a quick fix: select shortcut options, go to the compatibility tab and select “Disable display scaling on high DPI settings”. This at least takes out the fuzzy fonts.
