HiDPI support (XPS13 + Ubuntu + MD2017 = tiny fonts)

I know this has come up a number of times in the past, but was wondering if there is any additional support for HiDPI displays. Currently running on Dell XPS13 which has a 3200x1800 display running at 276dpi.

On this screen, even with the font set to max (+8) the fonts are still tiny.

Also, some GUI elements (like the "confirming transactions" pane) spills over the edge of the screen such that some buttons are obscured.

Unlike a Mac, Linux doesn't provide robust system level scaling to adjust for these HiDPI screens, so it's up to individual apps to provide appropriate support. In the short run, even larger fonts (bigger than +8) would help. But proper HiDPI support would be nice.

    Hi Tom,

    Sorry to hear of the issues when using a high res display. Unfortunately there is currently no way to directly increase the display resolution of Moneydance itself. There's an existing ticket in our ticketing system regarding up-scaling for high-res monitors, so I've attached it to this discussion and the developers will be looking into it.

    Sorry for the inconvenience, please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
