Then we will need to find some alternatives to GetSystemMetrics which is used a lot.

The GetTotalHeight() is used at line 316 where the user's space coordinate are expected.

All values which are obtained from native should be scaled before using, since
java operates in the user's space coordinates. But we still have lots of
places where this scaling is missing.
