Very small icons and text (display scaling)

Razva · 2017-12-08 17:29:14

Hey,
I currently have a laptop that has a 3200x1800 resolution. Everything is *very* small, even if I scale to 1920x1080.
Any way of making everything 200% bigger?
Thank you,
Razvan

You could set the DPI manually but I think that perhaps your graphics card isn't being supported properly.

Please run `sudo update-pciids` and then post the full output of:

lspci -knn | grep '\''[030[02]\]'

Unfortunately, Hi-dpi scaling is a bit of a beast at the moment. I have doubled the size of all the various elements that make up the display. This means openbox themes, gtk themes, font settings, icon sizes, tint2 configurations and so on. However, that is all still very much a work in progress at this time. Even then, once I get is all set, if the display rotates, it messes it all up and I pretty much have to relog or reboot to get it to rescale correctly.

In the screenshot below, those icons on the bottom left are 96x96 px big. Similarly, the tint2 fonts are about 24 px big along the top. I tried specifying dpi settings in xorg but it did not seem to help me much. At this point, I am willing to live with the idiosyncrasies until I get the time to dig a little deeper into the subject.

^ It is called the modern flat theme.
