Default The “Scale UI elements…” option is buggy and very partial

Given that scaling with that option is buggy and very partial (and in fact unusable at 200%), I have no idea how it can be useful.

There is a chance though, that those multiple unscaled things unaffected by this option are probably noncritical for some people at such small ratios as 1.3x (130%) (where elements actually rendered at 100% instead of expected 130% are not too smaller than they would look like if rendered at 130%) unlike 2x (200%) and higher.

In the long term, I suppose that Reaper should be able to automatically scale any theme to arbitrary custom ratio corresponding to OS-level zoom or specified by user. For example, 200% theme could be used at 130% if Reaper did automatic downscaling of all UI elements based on current selected theme. This way, 200% theme would be usable at any scale such as 150% (quite sharp) or 300% (slightly blurry) or 400% (nonblurry and just slightly pixelated if scaling from 200%-oriented theme is done by pixel duplication). Btw, in two months, Dell is expected to start shipping its first 8K monitor UP3218K that will require zoom of 400%.
