Description of the feature request
Add UI scaling to the Native Client. People who are on 1440p or 4K screens it becomes so small. The only workaround for this is changing the display scaling in Windows settings but that's a hassle.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a setting to scale the Native Client's UI. Like 200%, 150%, etc.

Research direction
Start by locating the Native Client UI and its existing settings entry points. Determine how a user-selectable scale such as 150% or 200% should apply across the client, then verify that the setting makes the UI readable on high-resolution displays without relying on Windows display scaling.
