Description

On Windows 10, with a high dpi monitor, the CVD appears in a very small window. When the window is resized, the font is still unreadably small.

On my local machine, I ran the CVD with system look and feel. This increased the font size for the pane labels, but not the text inside the text display.

In the CVD class, I updated the main method to reset the UIManager defaults for TextArea.font and Tree.font to match TextField.font. This fixed the font size of the text, but the text in the IR and FS trees was being cut off on the top and bottom.

In the MainFrame class, I updated the height of the tree rows in initFSTree() and initIRTree() to be the same as the fsTree font size. It needs to be increased just a tad, but otherwise the display looks great now.

Not sure whether I should submit a patch, or if there is a better approach to ensure continued compatibility with other systems.
