James,
Actually I do not want to resize the dialogs, but I've had a few clients think that would be a great idea. I really needed to get some input, do some tests, and then I can respond intelligently.
We will have some interesting issues with future Windows 10 displays. I have a Surface Book with a high resolution monitor. However, Windows likes to adjust the image automatically. I have two display sizes the user can select. The widescreen mode is 1920 x 1080. It looks great on a regular hi-res monitor. However, on the Surface Book, it has major display issues. You can turn off that display resizing on an application, but then it just doesn't fit well to the monitor because the fonts become tiny. So I set the program to the 1024 x 768 size. The problem with that is the data fields are very compressed and for my clients who have "older eyes", they complain it is not as easy to see. It works on the Surface Book, but still, it's all those fields pressed together. The issue is the amount of data that needs to be displayed, and I only have the top half of the screen, because in most cases the lower half is a browse control for the full database.
Pleasing clients is the challenge ... but I try. They are the ones who pay for the support and updates so solutions need to be found.
