Doc: Make info about menu paths on macOS more visible
We get a lot of user questions about where things are on macOS. Also, describe high DPI scaling after the other user interface options. Task-number: QDS-3407 Change-Id: If157b9afc70d82944ef9ce8d7b5fa419b3271ef2 Reviewed-by: Eike Ziller <eike.ziller@qt.io>

\section1 High DPI Scaling
|
||||
|
||||
The operating systems supported by \QC implement high dots-per-inch (DPI)
|
||||
scaling at varying levels. Therefore, \QC handles high DPI scaling
|
||||
differently on different operating system:
|
||||
|
||||
\list
|
||||
\li On \macos, high DPI scaling is forced, which means that \QC allows
|
||||
Qt to use the system scaling factor as the \QC scaling factor.
|
||||
\li On Windows, if no \l{High DPI Support in Qt}
|
||||
{scaling environment variables} are set, \QC instructs Qt to detect
|
||||
the scaling factor and use it for \QC.
|
||||
\li On Linux, \QC leaves it to the user to enable high DPI scaling,
|
||||
because the process varies so much on different distributions
|
||||
and windowing systems that it cannot be reliably done automatically.
|
||||
\endlist
|
||||
|
||||
To override the default approach and always enable high-DPI scaling, select

\uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol Options > \uicontrol Environment >

\uicontrol {Enable high DPI scaling}. The changes will take effect after you
