Hello,
I bought a 27" UHD monitor, before that I had a 27" 1080 monitor.
Everything is too small on the monitor. I can change the fonts, icons
and other individual things, but not the whole desktop.
I tried this in Plasma, I can easily scale the whole desktop (with
Firefox and other none plasma stuff). This is wonderful, so now I
have to use Plasma. :/
Can't I find the setting in Trinity or does the option not exist?
AFAIR there is a setting in TDE-Control -> Appearance -> Fonts:
"Force DPI for fonts:" where you only can choose between 96 or 120 DPI
or inactive. That doesn't set the resolution to the "actual
honest-to-goodness value" (as Jim put it).
I have a configuration file for X in ~/ which tells X which DPI
resolution to use:
$ 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
That yields an Xserver running with 102 DPI on which TDE is running with
the aforementioned setting in TDE-Control to "inactive".
HTH
Kind regards,
Stefan
