So, if you have real Windows 7 PC (or VM under Windows 7) with high res screen you can try it yourself. And problems are all the same - HyperSnap determine incorrect window boundaries. I rebooted MacBook from Bootcamp partition (it boots directly into Windows just like usual PC), set the same 2880 x 1800 resolution and 150% scaling. But it seems to be not Parallels, but Windows 7 + high res + scaling issue.

How does Parallels VM actually work - does it present you with one, separate window for the entire Windows desktop? Or can you run Windows programs in separate Mac OS windows, side by side with native Mac apps? Greg Hi Greg, Parallels allows multiple variants of integration (full screen, window and even integration of Windows apps like Mac Apps - they call it Coherence). Maybe Parallels VM is reporting incorrect screen coordinates to me, when I call the Windows API to get a screen rectangle of any window that is scaled up. I remember that in early versions of Windows 8 on high resolution settings, there were vaguely similar problems, but they want away after several patches by Microsoft. Any chances of this to be sorted out? Regards, Petr So it seems, that all these apps including HyperSnap are relying on the same APIs when determining coordinates and sizes of the windows, and they are acting incorrectly when facing combination of high res screen + 200% Scaling + window of non DPI aware application.
I have seen the same issues with incorrect determination of windows coordinates when using Skype Screen-Sharing. If I change Windows compatibility parameters for Skype (switching on "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings") than HyperSnap works fine with it, but Skype becomes so small I can't read anything. :-) The same is true for SAP and 1C. But some - and among them those two I have to capture most often - don't (,, and even Skype). MS Office 2010, FineReader, IE, Firefox). For majority of apps HyperSnap capture works just fine (e.g. And this breaks some applications and their integration with Windows. Parallels sets Windows 7 to run at 2880x1800 resolution and applies 200% scaling. Nevertheless HyperSnap captures active window (Ctrl+Shift+A) from these apps correctly.From my observation problematic are only applications, which are not "DPI aware".
So my current setup is: Windows 7 under Parallels VM inside MacOS X. I have to use both MacOS and Windows for different work scenarios.

Hi! Recently switched from good-old (meaning: "good, but old") ThinkPad T60 to MacBook Pro Retina 15". MacBook Pro Retina + Parallels + Windows 7 + HyperSnap - several issues
