Description

On a HiDPI display, the theme editor looks like this. When clicking, coordinates aren't visible. And it would tremendously help if the preview could be scaled as well (by the current display scale factore, most of the time it's '2' / 200%).

The config GUI also display bad and is barely usable (you can't read buttons text for exemple), but it's less an issue i guess.

What's not clear on the screenshot is that the whole window is extremely small.

Research direction

Start by locating the theme editor and config GUI entry points, then reproduce the unreadable, undersized window on a HiDPI display. The work is done when coordinates and controls are usable and the preview can be scaled by the display scale factor.
