Actual behavior

lack of hidpi support is a HUGE issue on linux. I found a very good and relatively unknown digital painting program (azpainter), but the interface is tiny on a 4k monitor

This issue also mentioned by few other AzPainter users that has HiDPI monitors.

Expected behavior

Add HiDPI monitor support for UI.

I'm the author of the tweet. I was searching for an alternative because all digital painting programs (at least the ones I'm aware of) on linux currently have problems. Krita is slow and buggy, mypaint still lacks some essential tools.

the only problem I found with azpainter is that there's no option to upscale the whole interface to a 4k-suitable size. This is what it looks like on my screen with default settings: Screenshot_20200211_233616

it's a 28" screen, so everything is quite small. there are options to change the size of the fonts, but the icons and other interface elements are still too small even on the largest possible settings: Screenshot_20200212_132441

the ideal solution for me would be to have an option to upscale the entire interface to 2.0x the normal size, which is what I use on my gtk/qt apps (KDE offers that option). I wouldn't care if the icons look a little blurred, it would be usable with my monitor.

I'm also experiencing this.
