Hello there. I use 14.04 on my HTPC as a Netflix (Chrome) and XBMC system (which works exceptionally well might I add). Due to it being a home theatre system, I ramp up the display scaling quite a lot (2.0). I noticed the HUD did not compliment display scaling, as mentioned in the bug report above. To date, this system has only been a regular, vanilla 14.04 instance with whatever updates that come down the main pipe.

After finding this bug report, I enabled -proposed and did a full apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade. I pulled down Unity 7.2.3. Not only does the HUD now compliment the display scaling, but my mouse cursor is also adequately sized as well.

Upon initial use, I have found no regressions or issues to report, however I admit I've only been booted into the system for a few moments following the update to 7.2.3. Given the HTPC gets a decent amount of use as we have no cable TV, I'll bookmark this report and comment if I run in to anything else.

Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and time. It's appreciated by us users!
