There is a difference between Windows and macOS regarding `sun.java2d.uiScale`  property.

On Windows `uiScale` of `2` makes the whole app double the size.

On macOS setting it does not change the size of the controls, but makes the graphics and texts more sharp or blurry.

Setting `uiScale` to `1` on a MacBook M1 (Retina Screen) results in a blurry window that still maintains the same size.

Can someone explain this difference to me?

I want the controls on Windows to stay the same size, but have double DPI.

Does the same thing happen if you just pass a different Density in through LocalDensity?

No, this actually changes the window size on macOS. It behaves differently. Thanks for the hint.
