Resolve UI Scaling for 5120x2160 screen

It seems it finally happened on v18.1!

At first I thought...that cannot be true...finally they did? And yes...it is there...scaling on windows machines works!!! It is like christmas... And it is not a bug...it is also in the release notes as a tiny side note under General:
"Support for fractional display scaling for Windows and Linux."
Thanks BlackmagicDesign!!!

It seems it finally happened on v18.1!

Yay!? But I want it to open at 100% while my system is set to 125%. Can it be done?

Worked. Thank you. I sure hope BM can make this a config selection in the program. This is ridiculous that we have to do it this way.

Working perfectly, thank you!

Seems that on Linux, Wacom users get to choose either a UI that you can actually see without a telescope, or being able to click on a control and not have the click register somewhere random, but not both . Not what I'd expect from a professional level product.
