Scaling forms is always problematic. We can see this every day with applications (not only Delphi ones) when used in a mixed DPI environment. Although I don't actually suggest to use it, there is an option to switch the form designer using a special PPI. The drawback is that it is used for all forms and not only for the large ones. Naively thinking that scaling the form display could easily be done by drawing onto a bitmap and simply display that downscaled, but that would imply that the whole user interaction has to be made with a bitmap instead of real controls. The effort to implement that with all its edge cases is way more than one would expect.

Closing a table will not close the connection to the database and if you are using PRAGMA locking_mode=EXCLUSIVE then you need to close the connection to unlock the file. Using locking_mode=NORMAL and deleting the file with an open connection is not a good thing. In this case you don't need to close the table either. https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_locking_mode

Using latest Delphi (12.1), you can open a new edit window (right click on the tab and select "New edit window". Then in the window which is opened, you see your source code and you can switch to design mode by clicking on "design" tab located bottom right of the edit window. Now, you see the form editor. It is still embedded in the designer window but it is bigger than in the main IDE window yet still not full screen. You can enter a feature request in Embarcadero Quality Portal. If you do, publish the reference here.

This is mine, same project of @vfbb but with 2 graphics surface from the same PC (always with vulkan enable): Intel Nvidia Intel: Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics Nvidia: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU P.S.: Vulkan version 1.3.277

@Hans♫ I used the same code you provided and got satisfactory results. Look: <No Skia> | <Skia + Vulkan> (Scale 100%) It is difficult to deduce what is happening if the same code is producing different results. That's why I think it would be interesting if we could test it on more machines. The project I used is attached: testVulkan.7z
