I use the same resolution/scaling factor and I'm also on GNOME, so I can help a bit. Most modern GTK applications, especially GTK 4 ones, should have no problem. For QT, I'm not sure, I think it should work if you render via wayland (and have the qt-wayland package installed in your profile). To force wayland I set this in my ~/.bash_profile: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland;xcb # for Qt 5 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- For Emacs you need to use the "pure" GTK build, whatever that means (and I'm not sure why it's not the default): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- guix package -r emacs -i emacs-pgtk --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- [...] > Since I am already diverting from my original issue of "some apps > aren't scaling properly" to "I can't use the gsettings command", I'm > hoping someone here may have a solution to the scaling issue without > going down the gsettings rabbit hole.

It works rather well, but I'm hoping GNOME 48 will make it even nicer. -- Thanks, Maxim
