Hello There, 
is it possible to have individual scaling factors for multiple displays? 
I'm under the impression that it is in fact possible.

So why isn't there a setting for that, in this dialog?

Please excuse the blunt question, i recently had to switch from my beloved Workstation to a setup with a Laptop that features a HDIP screen and a FullHD primary monitor.
rander -scale did a decent enough job, that i have to wonder why it isn't in the actual settings dialog.
Especially since there are mentions of it since 2016 and this 
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14346
was resolved mid 2018. 

I would like to implement this myself but sadly can't find my way through the wiki and documentation.
Don't know how to get Glade to work with the UI files to actually add a slider or something like that,
It seems like it needs a project file of some sort, which i can't find. 
Opening just the relevant .glade file results in errors that i can't resolve. 

So since i am unable to do this myself, how is this issue going to proceed?
