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.

No, just quality of life change.

Describe the solution you'd like

Research direction
