When I had ArchLinux on my Thinkpad, I found out that Gnome had at least 3 different UX frameworks that needed scaling (built-in, GTK and Qt). Each one had their own setting files. R3.2 uses Xfce. I believe apps continue to use GTK and Qt though. So I would start there (each has their own scaling properties). I couldn't stand Qubes and Xfce and basically back to my beloved i3wm tiling manager when I installed Qubes (it gave me a nice excuse to go back to i3 after I left i3 for Gnome's latest touchscreen goodies and eye candy). With i3wm, it's easy to scale the fonts in the config file however i like. I spend 96.21% of my time in terminals any ways. GTK and Qt apps still need to be scaled. I used some of the Xfce user settings apps to do it and it seemed to handle most of the windows I care about anyways. Only thing left was Chromium and Tor Browser (I have yet to find a good way to scale Tor Browser bundle). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
