Font size of themed main menu is too small on high DPI displays

See original GitHub issue

When themed main menu is activated (option ui_menu_themed is true) its font size is too small on high DPI displays. It seems like the default system font size for main menus is used to set the font size.

Under Windows it is possible to customize the font size of main menus in various ways (it even depends on the version of Windows). So I understand that it may be difficult (not to say impossible for a multi platform application like CudaText) to take into account all these possible customizations to set the correct font size automatically.

Thus I would like to ask for providing an option to set themed menu font size to a user defined value. The default of this option should be for example -1 or 0 which means “system defined main menu font size” (the same like the current size). All other values (with a minimum of e.g. 6 or 8) should be interpreted as the user defined font size in pt (points).

Confirmation on closing the empty tab is an arguable option. But being able to read better themed menus is highly useful in these times, where the DPI of computer monitors is increasing constantly. Actually, I can not use themed menus on my notebook because they are so difficult to read. And 130 dpi is not that much in these days…
