HDPI screen scaling problem

I'm using Windows at 150% UI scaling. gCaliper looks especially small without options to adjust scaling, or scale with my desktop.

Example:

Feature Request: Allow extending the calipers jaws to allow measuring/aligning multiple things at once in-line

Hey there,
I just wanted to throw out there that it would be very helpful if there was some way to extend the langth of the jaws to allow measuring/comparing multiple things at once. An example of what I mean is the following:

I wanted to measure to make sure all of these visual elements were lined up and doing each one at a time is a bit cumbersome, if there was a way to measure them all at once to see if they are aligned, it would be very helpful.

Thanks,
-MH
