Details:

Is there support for highlighting text on the app?

For now it just acts like an image, meaning I can't copy numbers that I show on the application, and that's a problem when I want to have a log. Just asking if there's support because I didn't find anything in the demo window.

Also every font I use is blurry (???) except the default one for some reason. And also the default font becomes blurry when I tweak the scale (io.FontGlobalScale). But I think that's related to DPI stuff

While text in the app:

Apart from its blurriness, it is also not selectable, in the sense I can't highlight it and copy it. I don't want to use the in-built functions like CopyToClipboard because this extends further than just copying the text. I really want to highlight it, like it's actual text XD

Not yet sorry. is eventually planned but not supported. There’s an open issue for it #950.
Copying is supported by CopyToXXX functions, and io.ConfigWindowsCopyContentsWithCtrlC (see https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/releases/tag/v1.91.5).

Please don’t ask two unrelated questions in the same topic, as it makes it harder to label them and to allow other users to research information. Your app is probably not DPI enabled so Windows is upscaling it. We provide a helper function in the win32 backend to make your process dpi aware, but there are other ways (in theory you should setup an app manifest for it, but i find the function call easier).
