So is this a WPF app or Windows Forms, or what?

It's a Windows Form.

You can try this simple trick, it's C# but should not be too hard to convert to VB:

// Scale form, AutoScaleMode.Font must be set for this to work.
this.Font = new Font(this.Font.Name, this.Font.Size + 2);

For a working example, see: RoundedButton Control - Demystifying DrawArc[^]

Thank you for advice! I forgot to say that I made a screenshot of the Form while project is not debugged. At the time when I made a project, I didn't have a monitor (I worked on my Lenovo P70 laptop). In the meaning time, I bought monitor and when I opened a project to get some piece of code for another project, I noticed that controls are ones above each other.
