Another reason for having proper HiDPI support: one can change the 
iconsize gloablly, so using both a HiDPI amd LoDPI screen together 
(which isn't an uncommon situation, e.g. HiDPI laptop and LoDPI external 
monitor).

In general, several things go wrong on Windows in this setup. Ui 
elements are too big and math formulas tiny. (See attached screen capture.)
