If you select one of the choices shown for "larger text" or "more space", and then check the actual screen resolution, you can see that all that happened was a change to the screen resolution. The new resolution was 'scaled' to the native resolution, but UI elements were not actually changed or scaled. I'm not saying this is good or bad, I'm just saying that nothing has really changed, they just present the choices with a new interface. | |
