Better look and feel on large and high-resolution screens

This version takes better advantage of modern large and high-resolution screens. Most screens today, if they are larger than 24 inches, or on a laptop, use higher resolution rendering of content.
Up until now, the terminal has been working fine on these screens as well, but it has relied on built-in resolution scaling in Windows that could result in somewhat fuzzy looking fonts and pixelated icons and images.
This new version implements native resolution scaling in the application itself (known as High-DPI support) that will make fonts much crisper, and icon and images look better.
Example – 250% scaling in old (8.6) left vs new (8.7) version to the right – notice the crisper fonts:
