4k/HiDPI scaling issues

[CryoByte33]

Using a 2k or 4k monitor results in a badly broken configuration page and tiny test everywhere else. Normally I'd ignore it, but it's literally impossible to edit the configs without delving into the user's files, so I figured it's worthy of a bug report.

Yep same =/

HiDPI might be supported on JDK 9 but I haven't verified. Unfortunately rewriting the entire UI is currently out of the question.

Did you try this?

@jkroepke that does work, however it's a workaround and requires user interaction. Would it be possible to automatically apply this setting?

[jkroepke]

If you build the lancher, you can maybe set some manifests for windows. But building unsigned exe files is nasty in windows 10 because the smartscreen filter blocks the execution.

Maybe I‘ll find somethink for you, but I can‘t test it because HiDPI on Mac just works.

Appreciate the feedback, I have little experience in this branch.
I will look into the manifest, however, if you do have more feedback / know how to do this, let me know please.

Once again, thanks for helping!

Building an exe from launch4j, then embed a .manifest file with the required settings should be the only valid version in the moment.

But the smartscreen filter on newer windows version will confused some peoples.
