HiDPI support

Hi,

I'm using BeerSmith 2.2 on Linux and my laptop resolution is 3200x1800.  Things don't look so good.  Most of the fields are cut off in the add new recipe view so it's hard to read all the expected values.  In the Brew Steps page, the preview doesn't take up the whole screen so you need to squint to read.  Is there any way to fix the scaling, or is there any support planned for HiDPI screens?

Cheers,
Ian

Thanks,
  I'm aware of the issue - I'm working to correct this with the next update, and also trying to procure a new display to do testing with.

Hi Brad, it's been a long while since you said you were going to fix this - do you have any further news ?

Thx
 
Brad, it's been a very long time and the software is very hard to use in its current state.  I can't ready any of the important figures for the beers I create.  I'm pretty desperate for a fix and would be happy to give a beta or even alpha release a go.
 
I just put down $50 for a license, but then I install and run and realise I can't really use it. This HiDPI problem is kinda passed it's reasonable use-by date... most new computers seem to have high res screens for a couple of years now...
