I have 15" laptop with 1920x1080 resolution, so I have set up higher DPI in my system (Windows 7: Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items -> Display)

Because of that some of the text in the new GUI does not fit in the window, and the window itself is not resizeable.

It's really low priority thing, as only one string passes out (and maybe the kindle names in select one menu could show more), but I'd be glad if it were addressed at some point ;)
Also the checkboxes in first and second column are not aligned correctly vertically :P

Making UI that looks this same on three OS and 325978 user configurations is currently over my QT-fu skills :-)

We are aware about this issue.

Row aligment is fixed.
No idea how to fix overflowing labels. QT don't see any font size change.

This is a blog post about qt5, but maybe it can give you some insight into features that are in qt4 as well http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2013/04/25/retina-display-support-for-mac-os-ios-and-x11/ . If not then resizeable window is enough I think.

Qt4 and Qt5 are two different worlds.

Anyway there are three solutions for this problem:

  1. Block DPI font size change - Lame hack
  2. Allow users to resize window to see hidden text - Lame^2
  3. Redraw entire UI once more but this time think about DPI - Time consuming

Anyway - don't expect fix for this soon :-P

Fixing this is no longer planned.
Implementing support for OSX, Win7, Win8 and Win8.1 high DPI mode is not worth the effort.
