The reason macOS users complain is because it is standard on macOS to not scale anything to screen's DPI. DPI is assumed constant (either 72, or 96, I'm not sure). When I originally ported darktable to macOS I introduced a code that detects actual monitor DPI and applies it, which results in darktable looking differently from all other applications. It might have been a wrong choice, and it can be easily reverted. But on macOS systems where I checked darktable it looked fine to me, not oversized. And IMHO scaling UI so that physical size of the font doesn't depend on connected monitor (like it's done in Linux) makes more sense than macOS approach. Anyway, to better understand the problem the following information is required: monitor resolution and physical dimensions, DPI that darktable auto-detects (printed when run with "-d control" command line option).
