Intra-PDF hover size - Feature Request

The intra-PDF hover view needs to be scalable. On high-resolution monitors, it is quite small. The only way I have found to make it bigger is to change my Windows scaling amount, but that is frustrating on multiple counts.

The intra-PDF however view is super helpful for looking at figures without splitting the window.

Please upload a screenshot showing the popup and PDF pages with your typical zoom level so we can compare the difference.

This is at 100% scaling

This is at 300%, which I have to change to. I find that this is the only way to make it meaningful and preview figures.

What is your screen resolution and display size?

My screen resolution is 3456x2160 and is 15 inches big. Even on a 1080p secondary monitor, I find it too small and believe scaling the popup would be valuable to other users.

Could you also provide a larger screenshot of the entire Zotero window showing the reader UI at 100% scaling?

200%. I often have at this or a little bit smaller. This UI would be reasonable for most people, but the Intra-pdf is still too small.

UI with 100% scaling seems too small and unusable on 15 inch screen, isn't it? Why are you using it?

I often use 150 or 175% because that is how I like to use my computer. These were not shown because it is unnecessary. The point I am making is that the Intra-PDF hover should not be tied to the UI scaling which is dependent upon system settings - or it could be a multiplier in reference to the UI size.

When I have, on several occasions, used the 100% scaling, the rest of the UI is still entirely usable on my 15" screen.

Even at 300%, the Intra-PDF view is too small, but the UI is ridiculously big.
