Good work Johan!

One question... Is this profitable to Linux environment? It's my case and I very interested in using Inkscape in UHD (15,6'') extremely high ppi; or it is only for Windows one.

Many thanks,
   Fernando

I have added a high-dpi gtkrc file to devlibs64.
This makes Inkscape look pretty nice on a 4k monitor.  See

Some things are suboptimal: many text entry boxes are too short, size of
mouse cursors and object handles, tolerance on gridline grabbing, ...).
But Inkscape is quite usable on high dpi. Note that our own icons look
great compared to stock GTK2 icons. Great job on that guys!
Gtk3 should have better high-dpi support, have not tested that yet with
a recent Gtk3 version.

To use the high-dpi theme:
- delete inkscape\share\themes\MS-Windows\gtk-2.0\gtkrc
- rename inkscape\share\themes\MS-Windows\gtk-2.0\gtkrc-hidpi to gtkrc

cheers,
