    I do want to reply on this one. Since i have been working with Blender for a pretty decent time. And i actually love the way it can be adjusted there to your own preferences. Maybe that's a good example of free software on which the UI scale can be adjusted (while staying sharp). Also, maybe it's a good example overall. Note: The image i use as a example is scaled down, so it looks rather pixelated.

    Less clear? - I personally don't notice anything like that.
    Less sharp? - Of course, because it is an illustrative use of the scale and its display on an inappropriate/incorrect monitor (its resolution). If you use the correct Scale factor on an adequate monitor, i.e. on an adequate resolution and size, the difference in sharpness will not be noticeable/visable. It is the same as viewing a 1x1m banner from a distance of 1cm.
     
    If you have found any bugs and deviations from the display standards defined by the OS, then they should be reported in the Bug section. Correcting these bugs and deviations is then the correct solution, not non-standard local adjustment and setting the size of the UI.
     
    I will not comment on the popularity of the programs, but I also use very expensive programs (compared to Affinity), and it has none. For example, even Office, which definitely cannot be considered a cheap program, and which I take as a certain standard of how applications for Windows should look (fortunately, the Ribbon did not take too much :-), does not have local resizing.
     
    Interesting math. So all the other users (as far as I know, there are thousands of them) who didn't even log in to the forum, or logged in but didn't comment on the topic because they don't see it as a problem, you understand and count as dissatisfied and demanding local UI resizing? Fortunately, Serif doesn't use similar incorrect math and follows common sense, and invests its valuable development capacities in improvements that will be appreciated by the real "majority".

    In Preferences  (or Settings) User Interface there is an option to use Color or Mono icon style.
    Ha! Walt beat me to it by a few seconds.

    Probably Settings, User Interface, Icon Style: Mono

    I thought I had replied to this thread a long time ago. I found that by making the tool palette black and white it made the tools much easier to see. At this point I'll be darned if I can remember how I did it however. Maybe someone more familiar with the program (shouldn't be hard to find someone who fits that description) can enlighten everyone.

    Hello @btmgreg, welcome to the forums.
    For background as a new user you should know that people have been begging for a more readable UI since the Affinity apps were first released more than 8 years ago. What you see now seems to be baked into the system. Sadly for so many of us, Affinity 2 made the UI even less usable, as described in numerous threads in these forums beginning last November. 
    For more on this topic, see my August 2 post at 
    There you will find links to additional posts with more details, including my own reasons for continuing to use Affinity Photo and Publisher despite the unpleasant, dysfunctional UI. Everything is a tradeoff. With Affinity you get great power at an affordable price along with these extremely helpful forums populated by patient, expert users.
