    GDK-Win32/4.0: Enable HiDPI support for Windows · 6abd65c8
    Chun-wei Fan authored
    This enables HiDPI support for GTK+ on Windows, so that the
    fonts and window look better on HiDPI displays.  Notes for the current
    work:
    
    -The DPI awareness enabling can be disabled if and only if an application
     manifest is not embedded in the app to enable DPI awareness AND a user
     compatibility setting is not set to limit DPI awareness for the app, via
     the envvar GDK_WIN32_DISABLE_HIDPI.  The app manifest/user setting for
     DPI awareness will always win against the envvar, and so the HiDPI items
     will be always setup in such scenarios, unless DPI awareness is disabled.
    
    -Both automatic detection for the scaling factor and setting the scale
     factor using the GDK_SCALE envvar are supported, where the envvar takes
     precedence, which will therefore disable automatic scaling when
     resolution changes.
    
    -We now default to a per-system DPI awareness model, which means that we
     do not handle WM_DPICHANGED, unless one sets the
     GDK_WIN32_PER_MONITOR_HIDPI envvar, where notes for it are in the
     following point.
    
    -Automatic scaling during WM_DISPLAYCHANGE is handled (DPI setting change of
     current monitor) is now supported.  WM_DPICHANGED is handled as well,
     except that the window positioning during the change of scaling still
     needs to be refined, a change in GDK itself may be required for this.
    
    -I am unable to test the wintab items because I don't have such devices
     around.
