Hi developers, Just for a couple of days I'm a happy owner of a HiDPI device on which I immediately setup Fedora 27 which ships with Gnome 3.26, wayland, Qt 5.9 and all the other nice new libraries and stuff.
Trying to develop (and use the system otherwise) I failed terribly to get a satisfactory configuration for QGIS development (and also otherwise). There are a few knobs to "finetune" DPI, but I just seem not to be able to get things right. Each variable I set somewhere has side-effects somewhere else. * Gnome itself already has a scale setting which at 100% makes things very, very tiny and at 200% (the only other option) makes everything grandma mode. * Then there is also the environment variable QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR which seems to make Qt Creator a bit more usable. (Qt Creator internally actually seems to be using two different dpi's - probably QML vs. QWidget issues) But with this env variable set, the QGIS interface seems to be scaled up twice. * Then there are various other variables for Thunderbird, Firefox, ... that again allow to scale contents for specific applications * And I read somewhere about xrandr for additional zooming, but I'm neither convinced that this is a good approach since some mouse setting apparently needs to compensate for this, nor does this seem to have any effect (probably because of Wayland) Source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI So apart from a rant for the mess by GUI frameworks and window managers, there's also a question: did anyone succeed to set things up properly?
