This update introduces a new preference setting that allows HiDPI support, enabling monitor-specific UI scaling for improved display clarity.
142+
Enabling this preference will:
143+
<ul>
144+
<li>Adapt UI scaling to the scaling of the current monitor.</li>
145+
<li>Scaling is performed per window, i.e., multiple windows can have different scaling, depending on the monitor they are placed on.</li>
146+
<li>Set the <strong>Edge</strong> browser as the default.</li>
147+
</ul>
148+
This check is disabled by default and that it can be enabled in the preferences. We encourage users to explore this feature and share their feedback to help us improve functionality.
149+
<strong>Note: This feature is only available in Windows</strong>
150+
</p>
151+
<p>
152+
To enable this check, navigate to Window → Preferences → General → Appearance, as shown in the image below.

The images below illustrate the difference in workspace scaling before and after enabling this feature. In this setup, the window is displayed on a secondary monitor with 100% zoom, while the primary monitor is set to 150%.
