Hello there. I use 14.04 on my HTPC as a Netflix (Chrome) and XBMC
system (which works exceptionally well might I add). Due to it being a
home theatre system, I ramp up the display scaling quite a lot (2.0). I
noticed the HUD did not compliment display scaling, as mentioned in the
bug report above. To date, this system has only been a regular, vanilla
14.04 instance with whatever updates that come down the main pipe.

After finding this bug report, I enabled -proposed and did a full apt-
get update and apt-get dist-upgrade. I pulled down Unity 7.2.3. Not only
does the HUD now compliment the display scaling, but my mouse cursor is
also adequately sized as well.

Upon initial use, I have found no regressions or issues to report,
however I admit I've only been booted into the system for a few moments
following the update to 7.2.3. Given the HTPC gets a decent amount of
use as we have no cable TV, I'll bookmark this report and comment if I
run in to anything else.

Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and time. It's appreciated by
us users!

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The HUD is not scaled on HiDPI monitors

  [Test case]
  1. From Unity Control Center -> Displays -> Change the monitor scaling to somewhat
     different from 1.0 (might be both bigger and smaller, your choice).
  2. Open the Hud
  3. Both the view, the text and the search results should be properly scaled to
     match current monitor scaling factor

  [Regression potential]
  Very low, but the hud might have visual issues (nothing found so far)
