Tkinter Output Blurry for icon and Text Python 2.7

Question

I have trawled the net and can't seem to find a satisfactory answer. Whenever I run a program that has a Tkinter GUI it always seems blurry/fuzzy (which I assume is a low resolution). It seems much lower resolution than the Windows 10 OS that is running on a couple of computers that I run these programs on.

It doesn't matter what program I run I still get the same results for all types of Tkinter entities such as buttons, labels, file dialogues etc. Which is why I have not included a sample of code.

I have copied some examples below:

Tkinter FD

Tkinter Label

Is this something I should just expect or is there some of setting on the OS\Python\Tkinter that I need to alter.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Answer 1

It seems to be an OS tweak. I don't know the details (would be glad for an explanataion), but it does the job on Windows 10:

ctypes.windll.shcore.SetProcessDpiAwareness(1)

Call it before you initiate your GUI, i.e.:

import ctypes
.
.
.
if __name__ == "__main__":   
    if 'win' in sys.platform:
        ctypes.windll.shcore.SetProcessDpiAwareness(1)

    [call your Tkinter stuff]
