Description

### Pre-flight checklist

- [x] I searched existing issues and the [Roadmap](https://github.com/AprilNEA/OpenLogi#roadmap), and this isn't already tracked.

### Problem / motivation

Most users don't use DPI settings next to 100 or 2600.
This large range makes it awkward to use the slider for usable ranges. There needs to be a better option.

### Proposed solution

**Slider + numeric field combo**

Pair the slider with an editable number box. The slider handles quick/coarse adjustment in the common range; the text field handles precise or extreme values. This is probably the single most common real-world solution because it sidesteps the scaling problem entirely. power users type, casual users drag.

Research direction

Start by locating the GUI DPI slider and the code that defines its current range. Review how DPI values are displayed and applied, then verify that the proposed slider-plus-number-field interaction supports common and extreme values without losing precision.
