Is there any way to scale the UI? Asking for a friend who has a widescreen (48" OLED). :)
As of right now, unfortunately no. I feel the pain though, between much larger monitors and much older eyes, the UI can be a tad difficult to read at times. There are some mods to increase font sizes (not fully supported, meaning you can use/run them, but if you have issues with them we may not be able to assist).
