I recently got a new laptop, running Windows 8.1 on a 3200x1800 screen. I've got scaling set to the highest level, which I believe is 200%; anything smaller than that becomes hard to use because icons and text are so tiny.

Beersmith 2.2, however, doesn't work all that nicely with such a high-res screen (nor does GIMP 2.8, as I'm realizing while getting my screenshot ready). Instead of explaining, I'm attaching a screenshot (scaled down by 50%), although I think it's got a time limit on it (Sorry, native English speaker in China, and most US-based image sharing services are blocked here). Basically, tabs are too small for their text, some headers are tiny, and the ingredients list when creating a recipe page is too narrow and doesn't seem to support resizing, so I have to widen the columns and then scroll the list back and forward if I want to see all the information. I contacted the Beersmith folks, but I wonder if someone here might have run into the same issue and figured it out already.

Thanks in advance for any help.
