Option 4, plug in another monitor , most people with this issue probably have a TV with higher resolution than their laptop.

This feels slightly petty.  ::)

Option 5
Swap to Linux for unlimited screen rescaling and shenanigans.

Opton 6
Run Aurora in a virtual machine allowing for unlimited screen resizing and scroll bars.

Option 5.5
Do what I do - run Aurora using Wine in a Linux virtual machine with a perfectly functional Win 7 host computer.

Option 3 is rather petty, but the rest is useful suggestions.
