I think it's more subtle than that. Most of the dev team run Macs, and high dpi support seems to work fine for us. We have had some issues reported - but on my retina MBP for example, pgAdmin displays nicely at all scaling levels. > The short term solution would be to make the app dpi unaware, thus letting > Windows take care of the scaling.
Have you tried setting QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR? Does it make a difference on Windows?
I can confirm that setting the environment variable QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1, or 0 for that matter, makes no difference.
I even tried setting the following parameters in your qt.conf:
[Platforms] WindowsArguments = dpiawareness=0 (and 1, and 2)
