 {{{#!comment 
 Only the non-modal dialogs and the preferences should be listed above
 Please no additional icons. For example JOSMImage(dialogs/relationlist) may mean the Relation editor, but it is already shown twice in the screenshot for other elements. Offering a third meaning brings no benefit.

+=== Changing the User Interface Scale ===
+You can change the scaling factor of the user interface to better suit your screen or needs: 
+1. Go to Edit -> Preferences (or hit F12)
+2. Scroll down to the category 'Advanced Preferences'
+3. In the search box above the list of various configuration entries, enter `gui` to filter the list. This way you will be able to get quickly to the relevant entries.
+4. Adjust elements to your needs by changing entries starting with `gui.scale` or ending with `.font`. For example, to increase everything by 50%, change all of them from '1.0' to '1.5'.
+5. In addition, you can also change only certain Icon sets. As in step 4, filter the list by `iconsize` and change according to your needs. For example, increase the default icon size by changing 'iconsize.default' to '36'.
+6. **Restart** JOSM for the changes to take effect.
