The latest daily build does not make the icons “bolder" on Windows and Linux when the GUI scale is 1.0. The attached Windows 10 screenshots show the ImageJ window at a scale of 1.0 and 1.3.

This is a Java 8/Windows 10 bug. Setting “Menu font size” to 0 in the Edit>Options>Appearance dialog seems to work best. That’s the setting I used in the screenshots.
