Icons should scale with all resolution settings

[FOARP]

Bought a new laptop with a souped-up GFX card, KSP runs like a dream with all graphics settings at max, but the UI icons at high resolutions are almost too small to work with, particularly when trying to select parts in the construction UI.

PS - arguably this is a bug, so if you think it belongs more in the support section feel free to move it over.

nope, its design choice. if you want it to work like that you have to work on it. not much but you have to. apparently squad doesnt want to work on it

KSP is a WIP, I know, but it's pretty pointless having high resolution settings (which look great BTW) which cannot be used because the UI elements become microscopic. As an example, here's the graphic selection menu:

Wow, what resolution is that? 2K? 4K?

That's almost comical.

Looks like 3200x1800 (3K). I play on a 4K monitor and I am somewhat annoyed by the small size of the HUD. I would love a HUD scale option to adjust the size of the HUD. I sometimes feel the need to lean in towards my monitor to see some of the data on the HUD while playing.

EDIT:

This is what I have to deal with.

There's a UI scaler option in there somewhere. Maybe it would help?

Yeah, I think there's an option for UI Size in the menu somewhere.

The existing UI size option is a) limited in scale provision, and only applied to the in-flight GUI -- it has zero effect on any other GUI (e.g., construction scenes, menus, etc.)
