[Lazarus] High Res Screen, problems with IDE

[Erwin van den Bosch]

I have a macbook pro with (very) high resolution running kubuntu linux. 
And Lazarus doesn't look good.
All bitmaps are tiny. Some lazarus forms are to small so you have to 
resize them first. The component bar is not high enough so you almost 
can't see or click on the components. I can't resize lazarus mainform.

Codings works great but it's hard to design/edit forms. They are also 
very small.

I have a QT based Lazarus but it's QT4 and still not QT5. I think QT5 
handles high res screens better.

regards,
   Erwin
