This might be another problem to occupy those long winter months. At the
moment, I can find no calculator application for desktop that really serves
my own needs (i.e., visibility, configurable interface, etc.). I have
downloaded every single application available for Devuan/Debian/Linux, and
none of them is right. So far, top candidates are still kcalc-trinity,
galculator (but only because it works, as visibility sucks). Of course there
is qalculate (or one of its relatives, -gtk or -qt), which would work, if
there were actually a package to download. Information online is vague about
what's happening with that project.
I think I have a nice workaround for your "galculator" - not perfect but ok:
#!/bin/sh
DPI=$(xrdb -get Xft.dpi)
echo "Xft.dpi:300" | xrdb -override -
galculator &
sleep 1
echo "Xft.dpi:$DPI" | xrdb -override -
You'll need to press <ctrl>+<m> once to hide/show the oversized menu. You
can usw "kcalc", too, but I have not found a way to hide the menu.
