Hi Rui, I understand what you mean in terms that you want a compact interface, which is still no problem with the patch. The problem becomes apparent when you use a higher DPI display (sometimes called "retina display" or "hi-dpi") where assumptions about reasonable pixel sizes do not apply anymore. Here it becomes important that UIs are scalable nicely and play together with the user defined DPI and theme settings. I guess this would also help visually impaired users.
