If the above patches are from January 2015 then they likely need
refreshing for a more current release. They would need to work in 17.10,
and also need to be designed so as to not affect low DPI users.
Please review/update your patches for Ubuntu 17.10, and when done set
the status here back to confirmed.

Title:
gtk2 theme version improvements for high-dpi screens
Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
GTK2 applications are still widespread and the lack of resolution
independence poses significant usability problems, for example for
clicking radio buttons or checkboxes.
By editing the gtkrc file one can at least mitigate a majority of
issues. By doubling dimensions (like widths, heights, not border-
widths), the following controls can be made usable: radio buttons,
checkboxes, scrollbars, expand/collapse triangles in trees. While this
is nothing like complete high-dpi support, still a significant partial
improvement can be achieved.
Users of high-dpi screens should not have to suffer under the current
default, or have to patch the theme manually. It would be good to
implement a way that when the scaling factor is >= 2.0, as many GTK 2
widgets as possible are rendered with larger dimensions, be it by
theme engine or by switching the theme.
