Before it is a real feature, there is still a lot of work. For instance: * resizing images which are not icons from svg files (layer Selector for instance). * resizing combo boxes when a resized image is displayed. * define if the selection is for the full kicad suite, or per application (one for eeschema, one for pcbnew and so on). Just because if you are working with 2 monitors (a frequent case to be efficient when designing a board: many of corporate board designers I know work with 2 and sometimes 3 monitors) you can have 2 different selections, if one monitor is HDPI, and the other is not. > >> >> >>> >>>> >>>> I need to know: >>>> * If the look of large icons is good with HDPI monitors (standards icons >>>> are just scaled) >>>> * If it is useful with monitors having only a vertical size of 800 pixels >>>> (choose "small icons") >>>> * If HDPI monitors are correctly detected (the Kicad/preferences/Icons >>>> Options shows in HDPI >>>> SysScale menu the scaling factor returned by wxWidgets for the monitor in >>>> use to display the Kicad >>>> manger. >>>> * If it makes sense to have an option to enable/disable icons in menus at >>>> run time, especially for >>>> OSX users. >>> >>> OSX cannot display icons in menus, so hide the option for them. >>> >>> Why can't we just kill menu icons entirely?
