with this you "change" the applications dpi setting into the current
value, so it is no surprise that there is no difference ;)

But before playing with the dpi, what are the dpi values on windows and
OSX, is my guess that the different appearance is caused by different dpi
settings correct at all? Anyway, I'd be careful with that and do it only
if it absolutely necessary. If your Mac really uses a bad dpi setting
then this is probably because of the monitor sending incorrect edid data;
this could certainly be fixed system-wide somehow though I don't know much
about OSX).

Well, 8 pixels is really tiny if you are using a modern screen resolution,
so maybe a bigger size might help ;)
