Hi all. I've just installed Linux on a new Macbook ( new job, mac-only place ). I now have a HiDPI display, and I'm figuring out how to make things work. Setting up scaling for E was easy - for the primary laptop display anyway.
I've read at: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-x11.html that you can set the environment variable GDK_SCALE to get Gtk3 to scale by an integer amount. I've set this under Settings Panel -> Advanced -> Environment Variables ... and this works ... but again, for the primary laptop display only. When I boot with my massive LG wrap-around monitor ( also courtesy of new job ), neither Enlightenment nor Gtk3 apps behave nicely on both displays simultaneously. The LG monitor is *not* HiDPI. The page: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-x11.html *also* says: "Normally, GDK will pick up a suitable scale factor for each monitor from the display system". Now this isn't happening when running under Enlightenment - hence the need to set the GDK_SCALE env variable. Would it be possible to export this info ( whatever it is that GDK uses to detect DPI ) to apps somehow?
