Unfortunately, scaling is not the only issue when it comes to resizing
windows. For example, I have some apps that when their windows are
exapanded, I don't want the fonts to increase, instead I want more screen
space to show things. I might have a listview that shows say 10 records,
and when I expand the window I want it show as many as can now fit on the
screen - with no change in font size.
