Adjusting Scale for Higher DPI Screens

[olablt]

Is it possible to change the DPI settings for high resolution screen?

From bCNC you can change the fonts in the Tab: Tools -> Fonts, but not the DPI.
Now in the font size if you set a negative number e.g. -12, tk creates the font to the exact pixel size,
with positive 12, it will use the DPI of your screen.

Doubling icon size on load may also help.
You can try by modify the method loadIcons() in the file Utilis.py

def loadIcons():
   global icons
   icons = {}
   for img in glob.glob("%s%sicons%s*.gif"%(prgpath,os.sep,os.sep)):
   	name,ext = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(img))
   	try:
   		icons[name] = PhotoImage(file=img)
   		icons[name] = icons[name].zoom(2, 2) #<--  Double size Icon
   	except TclError:
   		pass

@effer it should be added as a user preference the zooming of icons
