Look and feel changes dramatically between Java 8 and Java 13

Hey, with the latest release you discontinued support for Java 8. However, the look and feel of Burp in Java 13 is really different and not nice to work with. Did you notice any differences during your testing?

Here you can see the difference: https://imgur.com/a/N5ar0Az The first picture is Java 13 with slightly blurry and larger font display. The second picture is Java 8, with sharp fonts.

Adding "-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=1" to _JAVA_OPTIONS fixes the High DPI issue for me under Windows 10. Thanks to the support team for the tip!
