Hi Jantlotus,
The program has not been updated to be DPI-aware yet. However there is a workaround provided on another thread that may work. The steps are indicated below.
1. Exited Netgear Genie (by rightclicking the tray icon and choosing exit)
2. Went to my "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Appdata\Local\NETGEARGenie\" folder
2. Opened the config.ini file in this folder with Notepad
3. Changed the third line so that it reads:
screen_resolution=1920*1080
4. Saved and closed the file.
5. Right-clicked the config.ini file, opened the properties and made it read-only
6. Opened Genie and it's looking normal!
The link is indicated below.

My screen resolution is 5760x1200 (eyefinity 3x 1920x1200) and the newly installed Netgear Genie application is too large vertically for my screen. It appears there is no H or V scaling for the application at all. As it is, only certain parts of the application are useable. This needs to be fixed asap.
None of the compatibilty settings affect this condition.
This is a source issue.
