[Bug 1382291] Re: Account creation during first boot of an OEM image needs to scale based on resolution

[Ara Pulido]

** Description changed:

- [Summary]
- OOBE setting window will resize to be smaller
+ In HiDPI screens, the OOBE for OEM images is not ideal.
  
- [Reproduce Steps]
- 1. Install trusty image and complete phase 1 & 2
- 2. enter OOBE
- 3. The OOBE setting window resized to be smaller for highest solution [3840x2160]
+ The new gSettings to scale GTK applications (and their corresponding
+ settings in System Settings) work great, but this does not help for the
+ account creation (first boot) for users buying a pre-install system.
  
- The panel is UHD Touch [3840x2160] - ETE
+ We would need changes in Ubiquity to:
+ 
+  * Probe the monitor to get resolution information
+  * Re-scale the ubiquity window using the corresponding gsetting (com.ubuntu.user-interface scale-factor)

** Also affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu Trusty)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New
