I have found a work around to the problem taken from this thread (https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...ighlight=hidpi)
I used the following code to increase the font size for all menus and applications
Code:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.8
Then I followed these instructions from the linked thread to change IceWeasel. (Type 'about:config' into the web address box to access the settings)
With Iceweasel I was also able to improve the UI via the "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" preference name and set the value to 2.0
