When I have to install using Anaconda, I'm in the habit of switching into temporary use of a little old 1024x768 LCD to get installation started in that mode, after which I switch to a usual display that can make everything big enough to not be uncomfortable or even illegible, as is "1 storage device selected" at the bottom of both original and mockup. The bother involved makes me test Rawhide less often than I otherwise would. It certainly seems like there ought to be a way via cmdline switch and/or initial screen to accommodate visual needs, but if there is, it's managed to escape my notice for years.
I agree this is an issue. I think there's been a lot of work in GNOME and GTK+ to better support HD displays, and I am wondering if any of this work will help improve the scaling situation in Anaconda.
I recently got a new laptop and it's not really a true high density display - it's 1080p - and I had to do a lot of config adjustments to GNOME to make things readable in Fedora 20. But I have heard there's been working going into F21... so maybe there is some hope? It shold definitely be a high priority anyway, since a lot of the new GNOME 3 apps are being designed for full-screen usage.
Might be worth asking one of the GTK+ folks if they know anything that might be helpful for anaconda.
