I am using ThinkingRock on RedHat Enterprise Linux 7.3, with a high-resolution display (3840 x 2160 px). The display requires setting font scaling (I am using Gnome Tweak Tool / Fonts / Scaling Factor = 1.6), but ThinkingRock does not honor this setting, which results in the font being too small and hard to read. That applies also when I set the font scale first and then start TR. Please, is there any way of controlling the TR font size?

I installed 3.7.0 and so far I did not have the chance to test it on 4k screen (I will report on that in a few days), but I can already see that unlike 3.6.0, which rendered correctly on my laptop built-in screen, 3.7.0. uses a larger font that does not fit in the form fields well at 1920x1080 screen resolution.
The system details: RHEL 7.3, Gnome desktop, 1920x1080 screen resolution, Java release: java-1.8.0-oracle-1.8.0.131-1jpp.1.el7_3.x86_64
Sample screenshot is attached. Note the truncated tab label and date and time fields.
Thank you.

I tested 3.7.0 on a 4k monitor (3840x2160). The mismatch between font size and form fields I reported for lower resolution is similar. The "Calendar" views (Day, Week, Month, Year) use fonts not sufficiently scaled and almost unreadable on the 4k screen.
To enlarge the screen fonts, I use Gnome Tweak Tools / Fonts / Scaling Factor = 1.5. As in earlier tests, this is on RHEL 7.3.

I found a way to improve the readability of TR GUI on Linux - switch "Preferred look and feel" from default GTK+ to CDE/Motif. This resolves most of the problems with fonts not fitting in the widgets, at least on my RHEL/Gnome system as specified in earlier comments.
Tools / Options / Appearance / Look and Feel / Preferred look and feel - select CDE/Motif and restart the program.
