      SourceTree on MacOS does not respect OS level font size settings (System Settings / Display / Text Size) and provides no way to change it.

      Because of this, SourceTree is pretty much unusable on high-DPI non-retina screens.

      This has been filed a number of times but keeps getting closed. SRCTREE-3604

            100% needed! Specifically the pane where you review the commit messages in history. The source code size can be changed, why not the tiny text for messages?

            Reviewing commits is one of the main things I do with this app, why can't I choose the size?

            I literally use accessibility tools in MacOS to zoom in the whole monitor just to be able to read this text, but it's low resolution and ugly when I do that, not to mention the overall system gets wonky because parts of it are hidden, and moving the mouse to the edges of the screen changes what's visible, etc. 

            Please, just add an option for "Text size" that affects all text, or at least the commit messages in the history view!
