I think it's more subtle than that. Most of the dev team run Macs, and high dpi support seems to work fine for us. We have had some issues reported - but on my retina MBP for example, pgAdmin displays nicely at all scaling levels. > The short term solution would be to make the app dpi unaware, thus letting > Windows take care of the scaling.
