I have a Dell Precision 7720 laptop with the same issue.  In Windows 10, you 
can adjust the scaling behavior for individual apps.  Right-click on the 
shortcut for the app, select the “Compatibility” tab, and then click “Change 
high DPI settings” and switch between “System” and “Application”.  See the 
screenshot below.   I’m still running NB 8.2, and this is how I deal with the 
scaling issue when I travel and am using the laptop display instead of external 
monitors.  See the screenshot below.

Subject: Font scaling on High Res displays

I got a new Dell Precision 5540 laptop through work that is running a native 
resolution of 3840 x 2160 on a 15" screen.  Windows defaults to 250% scaling to 
make text and icons readable at this resolution.

However, Netbeans project/source views don't seem to detect/honor the scaling 
settings and it is literally unreadable except with a magnifying glass.   The 
tool bar seems to honor the system scaling/font settings.  I can also change 
the editor text size but it does nothing for the project/Files/Services view 
nor the output/debug windows.

Enabling "Maximize use of native look and feel" didn't help.  Is there another 
setting I'm missing or do I just need to change the resolution?

Thanks!
