HiDPI Scaling - OSX vs Windows

[Richard Moir]

Hi All,

I would also like to hear about the status of this, High DPI PC's are now
hitting the mainstream and our customers are starting to ask why everything
is messed up. For now I guess we have to introduce lots of Windows specific
hacks :-(

Regards,
Richard
