This examples repeats the letter ‘K’ (mtexture1.png) 64 times in a window. You should see 8 rows and 8 columns of white K letters, along a label showing the current size. As you resize the window, it stays an 8x8. This example includes a label with a colored background.

Note the image mtexture1.png is a white ‘K’ on a transparent background, which makes it hard to see.
