UI doesn't respond to Windows scaling #45

There's one problem that I've noticed with a lot of smaller Windows apps, and I never quite figured out what causes it.

In Windows 10's Display Settings, if you change the scaling to something other than 100%, this app doesn't seem to adjust with it. Below is how it appears at 175% scaling (note that the text is blurry).

And here's how it looks at 100% scaling.

(Desktop scaling is useful for 4k monitors, otherwise the icons and text become way too tiny).

Most programs are able to account for this, but I've noticed that a lot of FOSS/freeware programs become blurry instead of scaling correctly (even large FOSS projects like GIMP and Inkscape suffer from this, if I recall correctly).

Is there a reason why scaling never seems to work correctly? It would be a major UI improvement if it were possible to get this working, but I'm guessing there's some reason why it isn't as easy as it looks.
