Thank you all for the suggestions. I am going to try them. It would have been nice it tk had a global option to rescale everything by x2 Like in XFCE window manager

I am still trying to tune it but for the moment my tkinter applications do not render nicely on such a display. - all widths like borderwidths, decorations, separators etc, set in pixels do not scale with the dpi settings. Could we use "mm" for their settings instead? - checkbox, radiobox the indicator appears tiny wrt the text Is there a way to detect from tkinter a high res display and force a window scaling x2 for everything? What is your experience with such displays?
