If so, this has been a long-standing issue: Video drivers set the size of screen object based on pixels. Of course those objects should be sized instead according to their visibility to humans. To fix this, you could set the screen to an inferior resolution. Or perhaps there is a setting in the video driver to make screen objects larger. Some apps also have settings for larger icons and/or text.
