3rd Party Application Toolbars Scaling Broken?

This is really weird trick/workaround. Impossible to see how it works on the 2D YouTube video, you must apply it while in VR.

  1. First you need to grab with your left mouse button the window toolbar and lean back in VR. The window moves back with you.
  2. Then you return to your normal position, the window is now much closer, so all the content seems larger.
  3. Then you hold-left-mouse-button on the title-bar and scroll your mouse wheel. And the window moves farther from you, but the apparent content scaling remains (enlarged). In fact the window projection for left and right eye moves further apart, creating the illusion of the window being farther from you in 3D.
  4. In the result you have your window content enlarged. As a nasty side effect all window elements (title bar) are also much larger and the entire window is also larger (you can make it smaller only to some extent). But at least you can now see the interface elements and the window content enlarged. And the resulution seems much better, compared to before SU12 state.

It’s a pity that Asobo is introdcucing such regressions forcing us to apply such dirty workarounds.
