The attached files were not submitted as a full patch that solves the problem how to switch between non-hidpi and hidpi systems, but just pointing to the spots where the problematic gtk2 widgets can be multiplied in size. If it is possible to have a switch in gtkrc, someone with gtk2 theming experience (design team?) would need to take a look. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-themes in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1355137 Title: gtk2 theme version improvements for high-dpi screens Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: GTK2 applications are still widespread and the lack of resolution independence poses significant usability problems, for example for clicking radio buttons or checkboxes.

If the above patches are from January 2015 then they likely need refreshing for a more current release. They would need to work in 17.10, and also need to be designed so as to not affect low DPI users. Please review/update your patches for Ubuntu 17.10, and when done set the status here back to confirmed. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1687246 GNOME Shell should support fractional (non-integer) Hi-DPI scaling ** Changed in: ubuntu-themes (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-themes in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1355137 Title: gtk2 theme version improvements for high-dpi screens Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: GTK2 applications are still widespread and the lack of resolution independence poses significant usability problems, for example for clicking radio buttons or checkboxes.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1355137] Re: gtk2 theme version improvements for high-dpi screens
Not being a developer I don't have enough knowledge to do a patch that can be integrated and packaged. These modified files reduce the problem significantly, but only: • for the Ambiance theme, if another theme is applied the benefits are lost • for a UI scaling factor of 2 There would be a switch needed which files to use depending on the integer value of the UI scaling factor. Ideally it would be patched in the software that reads these gtkrc files, and apply integer scaling to these dimensions (size, width, height, length). ** Attachment added: patched files of the /usr/share/Ambiance/gtk2.0 folder https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-themes/+bug/1355137/+attachment/4300156/+files/Ambiance_gtk-2.0.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-themes in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1355137 Title: gtk2 theme version improvements for high-dpi screens Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: GTK2 applications are still widespread and the lack of resolution independence poses significant usability problems, for example for clicking radio buttons or checkboxes.
