Is there a way to set the default resolution in a Theme() in Makie? I want to set a default theme for Retina displays on Mac, since everything is too small with the default. I can set font size, line width, etc., but can’t seem to find a way to change the resolution.

`Theme(resolution = ...` should work.

Also, in the future we hope to make things more screen independent by scaling appropriately, but we’re not there yet.

Thanks, that was easier than I thought… I am looking forward to screen-independent scaling!
