Vscode: High DPI scaling for UI or settings for UI addition

Created on 20 Nov 2015  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: microsoft/vscode

I'm testing this on a MacBook Pro 2015 Retina screen with Windows 10 stable build in Bootcamp.
VS Code here does not scale according to my Windows DPI scaling settings, which is set to 125%.

As it does not, editor UI looks super tiny as the MBP has 2880px X 1800px resolution.
I'm attaching a screenshot:

visual studio code high dpi

In User Settings I can change editor font size, but not UI:

// Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings
{
    "editor.fontSize": 18
}

122 might be related, but it talks about DPI scaling issues with blurriness, which is not the case for me. The UI is just super tiny.

This will be possible with the newly introduced and persisted window.zoomLevel setting.

You can zoom the entire UI from the view menu and there is also an extension to persist the zoom setting.

Did not see that one :) I can verify that Ctrl + = zooms in and there is an extension Persistent Zoom.
Although, I guess extensions have some start-up time, which is why it has some lag when opening file with Code for example.
That's why it would still be nice to have this as default setting.

This will be possible with the newly introduced and persisted window.zoomLevel setting.
