how to fix the low quality of tkinter render

Question

On Mac, all widgets and canvas items appear of high quality on Retina display. However, on Windows 4K display, Tkinter has poor quality, and renders unnecessarily badly (pixelated) as if from 2009.

How do I fix the quality of Tkinter on Windows 10?

I have tried using scaling, but this just makes all sorts of elements all sorts of different sizes.

Here’s similar question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42887362/why-is-the-tkinter-render-quality-much-worse-on-windows ... but they are both unanswered yet :( — Taku, Jun 14 '17 at 14:59
this issue needs some awareness... the quality is really poor for 4k. — harry lakins, Jun 14 '17 at 15:00
Could you post the portion of code which renders the objects on screen? — SneakyTurtle, Jun 14 '17 at 17:02

What I usually do is that I import this module ctypes and type in ctypes.windll.shcore.SetProcessDpiAwareness(True). This will make the window of a higher quality.

Hope it works for you!
