UI Scaling

Thanks to demo feedback, I've added UI Scaling to Settings.

Little Colony's text and UI have been small because there's a lot to fit in the top bars and the cards that pop up for things like rooms. The new 2x option scales up the text and all the UI elements, so everything's easier to read.

Settings Label

Settings now separates Window size and UI scale, because they change different things. The old setting only changed the window size, and it wasn't clear that's all it did.

Window Size

This will increase the height and/or width of the game window.

UI Scale

This is the meat of what changes now. Text, cards, and the top info bars all scale up to 2x.

Configuration Note

With so many docking positions and window sizes, not every combination can handle the 2x UI scale. When a combination doesn't fit, the game will either grey out the option or raise the window size to make room. Hover over a greyed-out option to see why it's unavailable.

I got as many combinations working as I could, but there's a lot to fit in the UI, so it's not perfect. It should feel much better if you need or want a larger UI.
