It is completely fine to scale the fonts and icons, however the point is that photos pixels should *not* be simply scaled up like the icons by rendering a scaled-down photo pixel into four screen pixels (for example), instead, darktable should select the display scaling factor to display the photo, so that the screen resolution can be fully utilized. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Central: Instant, anywhere, Remote PC access and management.
