Thanks, this works perfectly!
I forgot to mention that I don't use any high resolution screens or change any DPI settings in the OS. The default font size of 15 and scaling of 1.0 looks good for me on both small and large screens, so I have never seen any need for changing it.
Setting the font size to 0 did not work for me, the main menu font is still small when scaling is larger than 1.0. When scaling is smaller than 1.0, the font scales proportionally down with the icons and sub-menu fonts, so it looks good (but quite small on my laptop screen). I did not find any screenshots in the post?

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.
