[platform-swt-dev] Avoid HiDPI-autoscaling on Windows

[Thomas Singer <ts-swt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

As soon as SWT implemented the ImageDataProvider, we adopted it for our 
products (SmartGit, SmartSVN and SmartSynchronize). In the mean-time, 
you've decided to also add autoscaling of images as well as graphic 
operations. I thought to have found a good work-around to avoid the 
autoscaling by setting

 DPIUtil.setDeviceZoom(100);

very early. Recently, when starting to work on a dark-theme, we 
discovered that this invocation causes problems with the new self-drawn 
buttons on Windows:

so you either may use a HiDPI screen or themed GUI on Windows - both 
won't work well together.

Judging from  Niraj Modis responses in this bug, it looks like our above 
work-around is not officially supported. What do others think about this 
situation?
