Problems with blurry display capture or window capture

[jojvan]

I can't get my screen sharing or my window capture do be sharp. Neither in streams or when previewing.

I actually found a reason myself. I used a dropshadow from user defined shader on the scene with an offset of 5 pixels on each side. And that created a rather strong blurr. Removing the dropshadow made it crisp. I do want to be able to add the dropshadow. What am I doing wrong?

Try changing the program's DPI. It's under the Compatibility tab. This is just another area of interest that I wanted to share.
You can set this for any app that you desire.
