Palettes and other GUI items do not scale to high resolution displays

The tool palette does not scale for the given display resolution.  For example, I have one of the newer high resolution screens (3840x2160) on a Windows 10 laptop.  The toolbar displays properly but it stays at the original pixel sizes which equates to a very small palette.  I simply can't see it being so small with a screen with such a high pixel density.

Please look at the screenshot attached to see what I mean...

Yes, right now icon sizes are only changed through the theme but we want to allow setting it separately (even though maybe not automatically unfortunately). This is bug 745835.

Small font size on Windows 10 may be the same as bug 768061.

Setting milestone to 3.0, if we want to keep this bug report open (50% of it is fixed since 2.9.6).
