Tiny UI elements on high DPI screen

Is there something explicit that must be done for LPCxpresso to properly support high DPI screens? (Such as that on the 2560x1440 Dell XPS 13 9350)?

The toolbar buttons along the top are super tiny and very difficult to read, and the project tree icons are tiny and difficult to click (to expand or hide portions of the tree). Breakpoints and "TODOs" are similarly impossible to see and click.

Unfortunately this is a restriction in the version of Eclipse that LPCXpresso IDE currently uses (Mars). The latest Eclipse Neon release introduces new hi-def support features. Although we will change Eclipse versions in our tools again in the future, this is in reality still some way away.

For the moment, I'm afraid that the only way to improve matters is to scale your screen at the OS level or you could potentially try out some of the workarounds that have been promoted around on the internet. A good starting point for more background information is:  Bug 421383 – [Graphics] Scaling issues on high DPI displays
