This is not working with an 4k iMac. When you have normal zoom level(100%) it will show up as 200%. Any ideas to wrap around this problem?

@RemcoSmitsDev : sorry to hear that, the script I have wrote is just detecting zooming and not the percentage.
one thing i want to mention that it is based on the css px which is different from pixels.
I have got a 4k monitor and I had set everything to scale 200% in order to show everything bigger.
maybe this could be the reason why you get 200%.
lets check your screen resolution here and see if it reports 1080p 0r 4k ?
