gui on 3200 x 1800

Hello there,

since I use my new Samsung ATIV 9 I noticed that Netbeans' GUI does not work with my Notebook at all.
I guess the scaling is not used to QHD+-Displays. For me, it's impossible to work effective with my noteook. Icons are way to small. The font of the GUI (beside the code, can be fixed in settings) is too small as well.

Attached you find a Screenshot of my Netbeans.

Will QHD-Displays be supported soon or is there a workaround available? I do not want to leave Netbeans - I love it.

All fonts are adjustable from command line: e.g. --fontsize 20

As for the icons, I'm afraid we don't have resources to redo all icons in hi-res.

Where do I find the command line? I already tried this here: but it did not work for me.

Regarding the rising amount of high-res displays in the future, I would say it will be necessary in some time anyways.

Recently, i bought a dell xps 13 with qhd display and i got the same problems as mentioned above. Here is how i deal with it:

if you are using an intel graphics card you can easily create two profiles with intel graphics driver software (or download sth. similar):
 
- dev profile with 1920x1080
- normal profile qhd with 3200x1800

go to your profile settings -> select dev profile -> add trigger for netbeans64.exe. Now if you run netbeans, your resolution is changed automatically to a usable resolution. 

optionally, you can hook the second profile to avgnt.exe to ensure logging in with qhd.

happy coding!
