ctypes.windll.shcore.SetProcessDpiAwareness(True)
improves the clarity of tkinter screen on windows, but on linux ctypes has no attribute windll, so is there an alternative solution for linux/OSX ?
The difference in the clarity with ctypes and without ctypes
here is the source code
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
import ctypes
