Micro sized fonts and expand/contract icons from 2018.03 to 2018.22

After making a big upgrade from 2018.03 to .22, certain fonts, layer expand/contract icons, and window close 'x' icons are now really small and almost impossibly small to control the sequencer tab.  Is there a setting in XLights to size this up while keeping benefit of the other screen resolution benefits?

I'm running the Windows version on Windows 10 Pro.   Using the system wide display settings set to 350% helps a little but makes the rest of the computer experience impossibly big fonted.

Thanks.

I can't think of any changes that would have affected those font sizes.  Maybe one of the other developers has knowledge and will chime in.

After investigating further, the issue started with 2018-08, likely with support for hi dpi displays.  In addition to setting Xlights to Windows 8 compatibility mode, there is a High DPI scaling override setting in the properties menu.  Check the High DPI scaling override checkbox and set the value to System or System Enhanced and the expand/contract icons can be set to the larger size.  I'll run with this now to take advantage of the newer functions.  Unfortunately it looks like this means the Hi DPI support is effectively turned off.

An observation..., when flipping between Hi DPI settings: 'Application' and 'System', the expand/contract icons do not appear to shrink proportionately.  When set to 'Application' they shrink smaller.  It would be nice if they stayed proportionate in size or larger.  Reading small font is not as difficult as trying to get the mouse exactly over the layer expand/contract icon or the 'x' in the upper right corner of a window on the XLights workspace.

Thanks.

Funny I never saw anything change.  Maybe because I have a normal monitor and I always run at 100%.  I have other programs on my computer where that is a requirement.  Kinda what you run into with freeware programs.  By the way compatibility mode puts all calls through a wrapper so expect a performance hit.
