[dev] [dwm]: something like the xfce scale all windows feature

2022-07-01 Thread Britton Kerin
I've got one of the high-res monitors and everything looks really tiny. I notec xfce4 has this "scale everything by 2" feature that addresses this, what's the easiest way to get this in dwm? I didn't see any patch saying it does it, might have missed one though there are so many now :)
