Default 5K monitors and 4K laptops on the market; 100%-only custom themes

Good to know, thanks.

300%-capable displays are already on the market for a while. Those are 27″ 5K (5120×2880) monitors (e.g. Dell UP2715K, Iiyama XB2779QQS-S1, LG 27MD5KA) and 13.3-15.6″ 4K laptops (e.g. HP EliteBook 840 G5, ASUS ZenBook 13), just not as popular due to their price. 13.3″ 4K is even equivalent to 26.6″ 8K display in terms of pixel density.

Also, this is not just about scaling the default theme. Afaict, there are multiple custom 100%-only themes that are tiny at 200%+ OS-level zooms. Yes, they can be scaled by Windows in DPI-unaware mode, but such scaling is blurry under Windows 7, and also text gets blurry/pixelated too in any Windows while could be rendered at native resolution if themes were scaled by Reaper itself.

Automatic theme scaling in Reaper is important right now. It’s also important for such scaling to be nonblurry at integer ratios (e.g. 100→200%, 200→400%). The great modern DAW deserves this.
