IDE scaling issues in 4K (HiDPI) screens

[jlcebrian]

When running the IDE in a HiDPI screen in Windows, there are a number of scaling issues. Certain elements, specially buttons, but also the default windows' sizes or table column widths, are too small.

A cursory search reveals that PyQT4 may be the culprit, since good HiDPI support apparently didn't come until QT5. A possible solution could be making a 64-bit package with up-to-date dependencies, since most 4K users are likely to use a modern OS anyway.

Another option is to change the PYTHON.EXE properties to make the system scale the windows by itself, when running in an HiDPI environment. This can be changed in the EXE's properties, under the following options:

With those options, the program looks blurry in a 4K screen, but has no scaling issues.
