HiDPI works quite well for me on Windows with the current development preview build. What does not work, yet, is dynamically changing DPI. This comes up frequently when working in a multi-screen setting with the screens at different DPI values.

Generally, Windows deals with the really nicely, either informing the application about the changed DPI or, if the the application does not support that, automatically scaling the window (resulting in blurry, but acceptable display)

With the new build of inkscape, Windows believes that the application can deal with the changing DPI, but inkscape respects the changed DPI value only partially, leaving some of the window in the original DPI setting and ultimately resulting in a totally messed up window layout.

Not sure whether dynamic HiDPI should still be considered part of this ticket or whether is should be split out as a separate bug ticket.
