When running the GUI on Windows, it doesn't respect the display scaling like other GUIs do. This makes it display comparatively tiny, and hard to read. A good quick workaround might be a configuration option to scale everything at a certain percentage or even just a choice between 100% and 200%. Screenshot attached as my personal example, this is a 4k 15" laptop screen. I have scaling set at 175% in Windows.

Same Proboem here.

Same here, it's really hard to use the program on a 4K display

As a temporary solution you can override DPI scaling. App will be a bit blurry but usable.
Go to file properties -> Change high DPI Settings -> Override high DPI scaling behavior. Set "System (Enhanced)"

I second this. Tiny letters.

This comment on a related issue is also a very good solution. Actually, it might be better if the Windows setting causes blurring since this GTK theming solution doesn't seem to cause any. I had to go for x1.75 scaling on a 27" 4K monitor for things to seem relatively "normal" size even though I only have the monitor set to x1.5.
