I have no idea what you mean here those should be fine. >> * Icons too small in some applications: In Filezilla or >> ProjectLibre, I see that the icons are really small, what leads >> to an unpleasant user experience.

Currently mostly only GTK3 applications support HIDPI ...

Fonts should adapt because we set xft-dpi as for the rest yeah ... they'd probably have to port it to QT5 to get proper hidpi support. >> * Spotify is not adapted to HiDPI: As it happens with Skype, it >> has all the fonts and interfaces only adapted to low-DPI. >> >> Of course I understand that most of these can't be seen as bugs of >> the distribution, but I think that should be noted so as to >> understand better what is left to do with HiDPI displays both from >> the distribution perspective and from the contributors perspective. >> In any case, I'll try to report most of them to the respective >> developer communities. Well the way forward for legacy apps that will probably never support hidpi is to let the compositor do the scaling. This requires wayland though see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728902 Otherwise just file bugs for the applications; the issues you noted aren't really gnome specific. _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
