Hi Juri,

This is indeed a cool workaround if you can override the builtin
bitmaps. But anyway it won't address the problem of having different
frames with different dpis nor the need to expose a "scale factor api"
to fix not only this but other hidpi-related issues.

> Funnily enough, the current fringe bitmaps are too big for me,

Too big as in "twice as big as expected" or in "too big for my taste"?

Best regards
