I don't think that functionality is too common among Electron apps? You can't increase the size in Bitwarden, for example.

I'm surprised you found the options in System → Displays too blurry. How long ago was this? Modern macs have such high screen resolutions that the slightly uneven scaling shouldn't be a problem. Indeed, on many new Macs the default resolution is not evenly divisible by the screen resolution.

On your non-retina Mac, you could use QuickRes to force "retina" resolutions.

You ask how long ago I experimented with the retina iMac. 2 months ago. non-native resolutions didnt look horrible, just not as good as native -- and even at native res, the text on Mac is not as nice / sharp as the text on Windows. and Im not the only comment writer on this site who prefers Windows text rendering even on retina displays.
