|
|
Basically iam trying to scale properly since i have a 14" 4k resolution screen
This is what is happening:

as you can see, the pointer on some spaces, text and icons are not properly scaled.
Cinnamon scale everything perfect, but its very laggy. Mate is worse than kde, iam trying to stay out of gnome since i want to stay on openRC
i dont know how to scale everything, is there any method? thanks |

I would suggest xrandr for scaling but it looks like a font issue to me.

Isn´t xrandr chaging resolution? it is not the same as scaling. |

According to xrandr --help, it can also configure scaling. A quick test here shows that it works. Code: | $ xrandr --output DVI-0 --scale 1.5x1 | This produced a horizontally crushed image. |

This page has a lot of useful information. Looks like you have the right settings in Qt but not in GTK3. |

Is it more than just geany?
I have this: http://imgur.com/MRNmirQ
It looks OK: http://imgur.com/ga3y77s
Sorry I'm on gnome and I don't have a comparable screen [ although I do have 4 monitors ].
Code: | $ equery uses geany
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[ : I - package is installed with flag ]
[ Colors : set, unset ]
* Found these USE flags for dev-util/geany-1.30.1:
U I
- - gtk3 : Use GTK+3 instead of GTK+2
+ + vte : Enable Terminal support (x11-libs/vte)

josedb,
I installed gentoo with plasma in a virtualbox machine and set the resolution to 4K. Code: | $ VBoxManage controlvm kdentoo setvideomodehint 3840 2160 32 |
I installed the same editor app, geany, (which I'm beginning to really like, btw). I believe I see what you mean with mouse pointers, but I do not see what you were seeing with text, as in the symbols pane (símbolos?). The font and icons look OK for me.
Watch me move the pointer around here: http://imgur.com/IW9ssB4
Did you use the plasma profile? I have a fresh install with kde-plasma/plasma-meta and kde-apps/kde-apps-meta. Code: | # eselect profile list

Yes i did. I tried several indeed.
Mouse pointer has been a problem in several WM
I also tried forcing a diferent dpi in xorg but the result is exactly the same. |
