Hi Eliot,
Squeak is not DPI-aware. It does not scale fonts and icons based on DPI (and maybe a factor). Hence, the operating system should do some generic scaling so that the user is able to see something without needing a magnifiing glass. :-D We do not even have a primitive to access the current DPI value from within Squeak.
Indeed, after manual configuration, Squeak can be told to use bigger fonts, icons, default windows sizes. Then, one could change this flag back to "true". However, this requires manual effort.
The first thing I always have to do when downloading recent CogVMs, is to open that manifest and change it DPI-awareness back to "false". :-) It's kind of annoying.
So +1 for this update here.
Best, Marcel
