Claim:
1. A method comprising: determining that an application to be displayed on at least one monitor is a dots-per-square-inch (DPI)-unaware application; defining an alternate monitor space for the at least one monitor on which the DPI-unware application is to be displayed, the alternate monitor space scaled by a ratio of an actual monitor space of the at least one monitor to a default monitor space of the at least one monitor, the alternate monitor space scaled relative to an actual monitor origin independent of a screen space origin, wherein the screen space origin is an amount of physical space taken up on a screen; determining a virtualized coordinate system describing the alternate monitor space; exposing the virtualized coordinate system to the DPI-unaware application; and receiving, from the DPI-unaware application, rendering information comprising coordinates in the virtualized coordinate system.
