Description
Icons and UI text on Arduino 1.8.1 are upscaled on macOS (10.12.2) with retina displays, even though all remaining interface elements (editor, output pane, status bar) look OK.
Setting the "interface scale" option in preferences seems to trigger the use of `@2x` icons, but all the UI then becomes twice the size... :(
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Arduino IDE 1.x on macOS 10.12.2 with a retina display, comparing the default and interface-scale preference settings. Done means icons and UI text render at the correct size without making the rest of the interface twice as large.
