Set the Linux desktop environment to support HiDPI display

Linux supports a wide range of hardware, but it also has poor support, such as the HiDPI device. For MACOs that use the Retina screen, all icons and backgrounds are displayed at a high resolution in the HiDPI mode. If we run Linux on the screen that supports HiDPI, what adjustments can we make the Linux desktop environment look more comfortable?

Short Message: HiDPI 4 K Optimus

GNOME 3.12 was released, introducing support for HiDPI

GNOME

The latest GNOME Desktop Environment supports HiDPI display. You can use the following command to enable the display:

1. Gsettings set org. gnome. desktop. interface scaling-factor 2

After running this command, the desktop zoom factor will be increased. If the zoom factor is 2 too large, you can set it to a ratio of 1.5 or 1.75. To restore the scaling factor, replace 2 with 1.

KDE

KDE currently supports the HiDPI display. In the KDE Desktop Environment, open "system settings-application appearance", and then:

1. Font family: select the Force Font DPI option and increase the default value 96 to 125 or higher.
2. Icon: set a more appropriate Icon size in the "advanced" settings under the panel.

XFCE

In the XFCE desktop environment, open "system Settings Editor" and go to "xsettings | Xft" to change the DPI value, you can adjust the default value to about 180. In addition, you can set the Icon size of the system tray to make the overall look more harmonious.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is especially easy to set. It also automatically recognizes the HiDPI display device. If it cannot be automatically identified, you can go to "system Settings | General" to set the zoom factor.

Firefox

In addition, if HiDPI display is enabled in Firefox, open about: config, search for layout.css. devPixelsPerPx, and set the value to 2.
