I have installed Lazarus 1.2.6 on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro with a 3200 x
1800 res on Windows 8.1. The IDE displays very small icons and all the
lines on the object inspector are cramped into each other. Is there a
way to rectify this?

perhaps check Project | Project Options and setting for 'Use Manifest
file...'
see http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/IDE_Window:__Project_Options#Ap

Good suggestion but no, that would apply only to programs you make
with Lazarus, not to the Lazarus IDE itself...

I guess Lazarus is not yet ready for retina displays.

i think your Set Custom text size (DPI) is modified

Thanks for the pointers.... problem solved. My windows scaling was set
to 250%. I have reset it to 100% and lowered the screen resolution to
1920 x 1080 which brought my Lazarus IDE back to normal.
