Hi Stephen, While it would be really great if *all* the apps were updated to scale properly on all kind of screen resolutions, I am afraid that's not something we can expect to happen.
What we could try is to use a similar technique as of gnome and scale everything 2X, then use xrandr' scale+panning depending on the resolutions of the device. This, in-return ensures crystal clear fonts and no tiny looking widgets. To counter something similar on my X1 Carbon(1080p) I have set Unity' scale factor to 2X (if I set anything between 1 and 2, widgets don't scale) and run this on startup: $ xrandr --output eDP1 --scale 1.25x1.25 --panning 2400x1350 That gave me the best working experience with Unity7 desktop, so I hope we can use a similar technique for Apps running from Libertine container as well.
