There's none. The majority of themes uses pixmap buttons and in addition
fixed titlebar height specifications (in pixels)
One could probably easily apply a DPI translation on the pixel hints of
the styles but that does not fix the button etc. pixmaps: you'd have to
scale them and that will at best look "bricky" (if you apply integer
scaling only, ie. *2, *3, ...) and otherwise murky (because scaling
items of that size will cause unsharp and visually squeezed results)

I suggest to take your favorite style and create a HiDPI interpretation
of it (ie. repaint the pixmaps like a retexture project for quake 1
would do ;-)
Then share the result.

Cheers,
Thomas
