Get Chrome to do High DPI Mode on Windows 8 (and 8.1)

The most recent version of Chrome needs the High DPI Mode to be enabled in the registry.

This has been documented many places, among others:

http://www.ubergizmo.com/how-to/how-to-google-chrome-hidpi-support-windows/

However with the most recent dev version of chrome (Version 37+) you need a different (or to be safe two) registry keys. Since 64bit and 32bit windows applications can place their registry information in two places.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node\Google\Chrome\Profile]

and as previously

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\Profile]

In both these locations you should create a DWORD entry named "high-dpi-support" with the value of 1.

For convenience you can download the registry files here which will set the registry for you:
