Well, you haven't really told us anything about your app, so we can only 
provide generic answers.  One thing you can do so your GUI elements are 
repositioned automatically as a containing window grows or shrinks is to 
put the elements into layout widgets.  See, for example, vbox and hbox. 
 That approach does not do anything with font sizes, so if you want 
those to change as well, you'll need to handle that yourself when you 
get a resize signal.  However, automatically changing fonts is not 
typically done; instead, permit the user to select a desired font.
