Add UI scaling option to the CurseForge App

The new update added an additional two rows of buttons to (at least) the Minecraft mod menu lowering the number of mods able to be viewed at once which negatively affects one's ability to find a certain mod (assuming you forgot the name or another reason). This also makes it harder to scroll precisely with the scrollbar. This would mainly affect smaller screens. Additionally, I know many people, including myself, enjoy a smaller UI than that of usually the default.

There is a related idea to this already but I wanted to push this one since the new update worsens viewability even more.

    I agree. I use an eighty-six-inch tv in my living room. I sit over 10 feet away and use glasses. I use 350% scaling, and it only shows one mod because of the size and other elements. It would be nice to be able to either hide the mod info panel above the mods or have a slider bar. With more and more people using TVs as monitors app developers in general need to add more accessibility options.

    This feature would be great for accessibility for people with low vision

    This desktop UI is absolutely terrible to navigate, so much empty space between buttons and tabs, I can only see a single row of mods. I should be able to scroll down from the main modpack menu to get a broader view of the mods included in the pack, as with any reasonable UI. F-
