Time to get with the flow

... so do you mean that HiDPI integration is pointless.
Programs with HiDPI integration work perfectly on those standard systems... so why not updating the SBIE interface.

Windows 10 (Version 1703 | Build 15063+) now handles DPI scaling with ease.
Set DPI scaling to "System (Enhanced)" in the SbieCtrl.exe Properties > Compatibility tab.
The exe is found in the install folder (usually "C:\Program Files\Sandboxie" for x64 systems).
This makes it work with HiDPI and even mixed DPI monitor setups.
It looks fine with a 4k monitor at 200% scaling next to a 1080p monitor at 100% scaling.
The result should look like this on any screen (resized for the web):
