[Solved] GUI far too big

[OldYogre]

No effect..
as in scaling does not take place at all?

There is a shell-script method:
shell script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR="0"
export QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS="eDP-1=2.5;HDMI-1=2.5;DP-0=2.5".<absolute path to lmms App image>

Then set
chmod +x <script name>
make a symlink in /bin/ to it

May need to experiment with all values in that QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS string

If that is useless (eg no effect at all ) as well, I fear this calls for real linux experts, that is not me..

Besides that, since you are new in Forum

Thanks for all this help. After restarting my computer the screen scale factors took effect, fixing lmms but messing up MuseScore. I changed the gnome-qt file in profile.d to match the commands in your shell script. I had to restart my computer between each change to check it out. Your commands worked for me for both programs. 2.5 in the last line made them both too big, but when I changed them all to 1 it worked for both programs work. Wish I understood what is going on, but thanks for helping me fix it.
