Issue with high DPI screens

Hello all
 
I've got a notebook with a high resolution screen ( 3840 x 2160 ).  
I am using Linux with Gnome and installed Harmony Assistant (Linux version).
As you can see on attached screenshot, all graphical elements and all fonts are too small.  
 
While there are settings available to enlarge the font size, the used dialog boxes are not scaling (i.e. the main configuration dialog box shown on the "Screenshot compare.
 
The "screenshot Lage Fonts" shows you the result. For this picture I changed the font size to 20 for all fonts.
 
In addition changing the font size does not solve the issue of too small graphical elements within the main editing window. I know, that I can scale the palletes - but there is no way to scale the icons for the functions on the left and bottom site of the main window.
 
For Linux I found a rather complex solution:
 - Start another (nested) X-Server
 - Start Harmony within this X-Server
 - Use a RDP Client to connect to this X-Server
There are some RDP clients, which can scale the received session by a factor of 1.2 or 2. If you do so, you will end up in one Harmony instance running in the nested X-Server (not useable). With the RDP client you get a enlarged copy of this instance with which you can work:
 
Start X-Server
      :-> Xephyr -once -screen 1594x876 :1
 
Start Harmony
      :-> DISPLAY=:1 wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\
 
Start vnc Server on nested X-Server with scale factor
      :-> x11vnc -localhost -display :1 -scale 2:nb -repeat
 
Use (i.e) Remmina to connect
      :->  
 
As you can see, this is not a real solution.
 
Any ideas?
 
Many thanks
Gottfried

That is some specialist in-depth tech-speak ("geek-speak"); I do not believe that there will be too many users able to help you !  
 
It is obvious from your screen-shot that you have already been researching this; this link suggests to me that it is something to ask Myriad:  

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/3025083/windows-scaling-issues- for-high-dpi-devices
  Check whether applications are DPI-aware


Maybe you simply need a better graphics card?
 
You say that your left-margin icons are too small (they do not appear on your screen-shot) - silly question: Have you set your configuration to display large staff icons:
(Cntrl-shift-G) Einstellung Bearbeiten > Tonleiter-menü:
Große Symbole  
 
And a larger cursor: (Screen/Anzeige ) ?

Another thing to try:  Configuration > Global Setup >Screen and look for the small buttton labeled Screen Setup and adjust the DPI setting to match your ruler.  It should definitely help with scores, but it may also help with the format of the rest of the program.  I would attach a screen shot, but the system won't accept it.
