there is some truth in this. Certain GUI parts are inflexible. Even if thinking of the standard theme, we are unable to change properly the elements. I have an old iBook, it has a big but low-resolution 800x600 screen. Next a ThinkPad with a Hi-Res (even if not really "Retina") display. The menus and decorations compared almost double in size. We currently don't properly "scale" elements. I want to be able to use a bigger font in menus and look the same. Windows does this quite well! Fixing that would help making things more dynamic also for themes. Riccardo
