DPI Setting on High Resolutions.

I have several "high DPI" displays (1920x1200 @ 10.1"; also 1600x1200 @ 14") and on all the menus, icons and so on are veeeeeeeeeeery small. I tried to change everything but it didn´t change much.

Please add an "Auto-DPI" + "Manual DPI, icon size, letters size" setting, which could also be enable for the subtitles, where on such screens people could still read. I also try to use the touchscreen (Tablet/Laptop) and the GUI is very touch-unfriendly.

Thank you

    You can change the size of the font in preferences -> interface.
    For the icons, you can try this theme which uses bigger icons:

      thanks

      Though, when I change the font size as you said, it won't change the menus "open" "play" "video" etc.. Also, the changed fonts (mainly under the seek bar where it says the file name) are too big for the available space.

      Result: The GUI (spaces, icons, fonts) do not scale properly, and with newer devices (more pixels on a smaller space) it will only get worse.

    Did you install the H2O theme? Are you using the latest version?

    I've just changed the font size to 16, and the icon size to 64, and for me it seems that the buttons and text are pretty big.
    I attach a screenshot.

    You can edit the file style.qss in that theme to change the size of most of the elements of the GUI.
