Bug Description

Windows 10 Pro - version 1607
OpenLP version 2.4.3

I use a very high dpi screen with a 2000x3000 resolution on a 13 inch screen. This means that my icons and text in the general operation system are extremely small. So, this particular computer uses a 200% scaling on icons and text which works rather well. In fact, I don't notice a single problem in any other modern program. However, OpenLP seems to do fairly well except the icons of the buttons are tiny! Lots of windows seem to be focused on resolution rather than scaling as well.

I've attached a picture of the scaling being an issue, I also really don't like adjusting my resolution and scaling all of the time, so I've just dealt with it and have managed, but it sure would be nice to have larger icons. The other workaround that I have used when I need to have someone run the media whilst I teach is by lowering the resolution and scaling to a normal size.

Also, I'm really not sure if this is the proper place to report bugs, but I just looked for a while to see if I could find any bug of this sort in any of the documentation and couldn't, but I don't have forever to look through everything so I hope this helps. In the future I plan on studying Python, but as of right now, I don't know how to help other than report things!
