Installer doesn't regard display scaling

Suggestion

It would be nice if the installer could regard display scaling, to ease usability. On a laptop with higher DPI and a trackpad, it can be very difficult to choose the installer options due to the miniature icon.

Use case

does NSIS support this ?

[luzpaz]

@Richard-L have you seen this option available in other NSIS installers before ?

[Richard-L]

@luzpaz good question. I can't really say tbh. I just happened to notice it with qbittorrent.

Possible solution: https://nsis.sourceforge.io/ChangeRes_plug-in (found via https://nsis-dev.github.io/NSIS-Forums/html/t-291898.html)

edit: looks ancient. have no idea if this is still viable.

@qbittorrent/bug-handlers anyone on windows able to test if this option :point_up_2: is legit ?
