This is a known problem, and to some extend a limitation of AutoHotkey and/or the Win32 API.

In short, I believe that making an AHK application DPI-aware requires manual calculation of positions and sizes of all elements which is not very feasible.

I'm not actively working on 7plus right now, mostly because I have enough programming-related tasks at my job, so I won't be working on this. If someone knows an easy fix it might help.
