At least 150 would be nice. But the problem with the DPI settings is that the GUI elements
don't grow accordingly. e.g. scrollbar width is fixed in pixels, the movable pane
seperator is fixed in pixels, some spacing of GUI elements is fixed in pixels, icons are
pixels etc. Decorations like "Plastic" have even the scrollbar width harcoded.
The other thing is the mouse cursor size and theme: On 300dpi display you need at least 48
pixel, better 64 pixel or more. And it needs to be set for GTK2/3 and X11, too.

Question: It could be useful to add another usual resolutions of HIDPI
monitors to the list of resolutions in TDE Control Center?
Cheers $ cat .Xresources
Xft.dpi: 102
This file is automatically read when X is started and before TDE is
lauched by the user and sets the DPI resolution as requested:
$ xrdb -query -all | grep -i dpi
Xft.dpi: 102
Xft.dpi is the means by which TDE-Control -> Appearance -> Fonts: "Force
DPI for fonts:" is applied. When this is used, it is stored in
~/.trinity/share/config/kcmfonts as forceFontDPI= under [General]. With
TDE closed, you can put any number you please here and it will stick.
Not app apps are affected by Xft.dpi. Xft.dpi is the "knob" by which
Gnome/GTK font scaling is applied. If you wish non-adherent apps to use
your specific DPI, X itself needs a DPI forced. Various methods can do
this:
1-DisplaySize in /etc/X11/xorg.con* can do it.
2-The xsession startup script can do it with a -dpi switch.
3-Xrandr can do it with -dpi option either via startup script, which
will affect the entire session, or after startup, by which it will only
affect apps started after running it. This latter method can be helpful
in choosing an optimal value.
