Adjusting Maya for 4k monitors ...via python?

[Fredrik Averpil]

We just received 4k monitors in the office. Now everyone's complaining over that the Maya UI is too small :)

I've dug up these:

...but ideally, since not all monitors in the office are 4k monitors and since we run the same Maya installation off a network share, I'd like to somehow define by hostname/ipaddr which machines should get the UI size adjusted.

I wonder if this could be achieved through userSetup.mel/.py or via python in Maya somehow. Any ideas?

And it's the part about changing the UI settings via Python that I'm wondering about ...

Sounds like a good starting point and a fun little project.. I'm not lucky enough to have a high DPI screen so I wouldn't develop it myself. This thread on HiDPI for Qt might be useful as well; http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.qt.devel/6983 .

FYI

Maya 2016's UI has been updated to be more 4k friendly.
