[Design-team] more on dpi settings

[S.Kemter]

Hi Andrew,

Can I ask you for a favor? Please do not open for each mail a new thread,
you posting a lot and we definitely like your engagement but we have
normally here not that much traffic and with an new thread for each post,
its hard for some of us to keep up with the list ;)
