Question - Windows scaling affecting application render

Comienza con la reproducción proporcionada en Windows 10 usando el diseño de sg.Window, sg.Frame, sg.Column y las llamadas de escalado de tkinter comentadas, comparando el escalado de pantalla al 100 % y al 125 %. Determina si el comportamiento solicitado es compatible y define la finalización como una resolución documentada o reproducible para la diferencia de renderizado.

Troubleshooting

These items may solve your problem. Please check those you've done by changing - [ ] to - [X]

• Searched main docs for your problem www.PySimpleGUI.org
• Looked for Demo Programs that are similar to your goal. It is recommend you use the Demo Browser! Demos.PySimpleGUI.org
• If not tkinter - looked for Demo Programs for specific port
• For non tkinter - Looked at readme for your specific port if not PySimpleGUI (Qt, WX, Remi)
• Run your program outside of your debugger (from a command line)
• Searched through Issues (open and closed) to see if already reported Issues.PySimpleGUI.org
• Have upgraded to the latest release of PySimpleGUI on PyPI (lastest official version)
• Tried using the PySimpleGUI.py file on GitHub. Your problem may have already been fixed but not released

Detailed Description

The application was developed on a machine with the Window's scaling set to 100%. Another developer has their scaling set to 125% and it is causing render issues in part of the application. I can provide some code, but this seems like a more general problem. I've looked around but I was unable to find any solutions to the scaling.

I've tried the below code as referenced in #80. But as far as I can tell, it will only set the scaling after the window is created and not before. I'm hoping we can adjust the pysimplegui window to always render at 100% but I don't know if Windows will allow that.

Referring to the screenshot below, Windows is increasing the size of all the elements causing the Frame to be bigger than intended. I'm hoping to overwrite that setting.

If I cannot change the Windows scaling's effect, am I able to set a sg.Frame or sg.Column element to have a fixed width but height that only encapsulates the elements? Fixed design, question no longer relevant.
