Increase the size of text in hidpi screen about theshell HOT 6 CLOSED

Thanks :D

Does changing the DPI in System Settings > Adjust Screen Resolution > Scale Display do anything? I know I've built hidpi support into theShell, but if that doesn't work, just tell me. :)

What distribution are you using? :)

from theshell.

The distribution used is Arch Linux, specifically Manjaro Deepin and the installation of theshell is through the theshell-blueprint 6.2b-0 package in AUR repository [1]. I tried to use the option that tells me, but it does not work, the option System Settings > Adjust Screen Resolution > Scale Display does not exist in the installed version. Here a screenshot.

I appreciate if it is possible support in the future to increase the scaling of text and icons.

Again, great desktop for Linux!!!

Ahh, do you have the kde-cli-tools package installed? That provides the configuration window for KScreen which theShell uses for screen management :)

Thanks @vicr123. It does not save scaling changes, but it allows me to change the resolution. This is not saving the changes, so every time I log in I have to change the screen resolution.

Ahh ok. I'll see about moving away from KScreen in theShell 7.1. :)

Options have been added to the latest Blueprint and ts-startsession. :)
