I struggle to set up the size of GUI with my system. My monitor is 5120x2880, 27 inches (218 DPI) and Windows resize is set to 250%. The best compromise is character 5.0 points (minimum) and DPI GUI and text 218. I would prefer a smaller layout, but if I reduce DPI I get non homogeneous text.
But the problem is with vectorscope. It resizes downto 22% of the display approximately (that is huge), then it is clipped on both sides.
By the way, I’m using 0.0.0+922~g7f23d9d38 on Windows 10.

Having understood that is possible to change the GUI in the CSS text box, I roll back to system font size and resolution, that yields a much better overall layout size, and I try to fix the non homogeneous text with CSS tweaks.
Unfortunately I don’t find any way to reduce the huge text shown in left and right panel, see attached image. Does someone has a suggestion?
