[HL25] HUD/UI scaling in 1080p is way too big #3449

I read somewhere that the UI scaling for 1440p is being used for 1080p as well, resulting in really big HUD and UI elements.

There also used to be a bigger gap between Health and Armor counters. Not sure if reducing that gap was intentional or not

Here's how the main menu looks in 1080p currently, way too big

A scaling feature was requested in #3436

The scaling feature could be like Minecraft with options like Small, Normal, Large and Auto.

I don't disagree that a size option would be nice (I'd use a smaller option if it becomes available as the HUD in particular does feel a tad big in 1080p), but it seems like they've gone for the original look.

That's actually roughly originally how it was intended(?) Is it just that we're so used to seeing it (unintentionally shrunk?) on modern resolutions for AGES now?

Here's how it looked back in the day on in 640x480. I cannot add 4k shots outside of using DLDSR, which just looks the same as 1080p-- but here are comparisons: https://imgur.com/a/8rTaB8c
