Title:
  gtk2 theme version improvements for high-dpi screens

Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  GTK2 applications are still widespread and the lack of resolution
  independence poses significant usability problems, for example for
  clicking radio buttons or checkboxes.

  By editing the gtkrc file one can at least mitigate a majority of
  issues. By doubling dimensions (like widths, heights, not border-
  widths),  the following controls can be made usable: radio buttons,
  checkboxes, scrollbars, expand/collapse triangles in trees. While this
  is nothing like complete high-dpi support, still a significant partial
  improvement can be achieved.

  Users of high-dpi screens should not have to suffer under the current
  default, or have to patch the theme manually. It would be good to
  implement a way that when the scaling factor is >= 2.0, as many GTK 2
  widgets as possible are rendered with larger dimensions, be it by
  theme engine or by switching the theme.
