Thanks for this great improvement! I will test your solution to hidpi soon and merge the PR afterward.

I tested this PR but I have some problems: I changed the resolution to 100% and then nothing is shown in the File Explorer and also not in the Settings. So I can not change it back. Also, the text looks relatively small in the default of 75% on my machine when I start RemaPy the first time. I use a display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080.

Strange, it works fine on my machine, can you check what value of scaling got saved to the ~/.remapy/config file?

The default scaling came from window.tk.call('tk', 'scaling'), which to my understanding, doesn't respect dpi settings of the system and returns screen physical dpi / 72. I changed it so it defaults to 100% now.

I'm using RemaPy on a Hidpi display, and just changed the parameters in rema.py manually to increase the row and icon size. This worked well for a few weeks, then suddenly today the file explorer failed to render as described by peerdavid. The settings worked as normal, as I had not made any changes there.

Not sure if this is of any help at all, but at least I encountered the same issues independently of this pull request.

Edit: This was an unrelated problem. I currently just set row_height = 70 in rema.py, and that works well enough for a hidpi display until another solution is in place.
