Just like to mention that using HiDPI laptop screen on linux, the new Insync menu is ridiculously small.
I am running Linux Mint 17 on a Dell M3800 workstation which has a Quad HD screen (like a MacBook Pro Retina screen)
Resolution is 3200 x 1800 pixels.
Consequently, the InSync menu is shown approximately half the size it should be.
I have a screenshot of this but I can’t upload it as I’m a ‘new user’ and Discourse won’t let me.
My laptop screen is 15" so you can see there’s a lot of pixels on there. Try scaling the uploaded screenshot until it’s 15" diagonally and you’ll get an idea what the menu looks like on my screen. The InSync menu is about 1/2 the size it should be.
Possible solutions: Could you include some kind of setting for an user interface scaling factor? (perhaps in an ‘Advanced Settings’ panel or similar) In my case I would want to be able to set the scaling factor to 2.00, but there may be others with an intermediate screen resolution who would want some non-integer between 1.00 and 2.00.
I am very glad you are working on a fix. I just wanted to pop in and mention that I am using Manjaro linux on a HiDPI Lenovo yoga 2 pro (3200x1800 ~13 inch screen) and I have this same issue. Looking forward to it being resolved.
Any news? I have the same issue on a UHD screen (3840x2160). InSync is ridiculously small.
May I kindly suggest to follow suit in existing desktop applications rather than to create yet another scaling setting? I have configured my KDE desktop to use a scaling factor of 1.5 and have increased the system DPI to 168 so that I get reasonable sizes in applications that use these settings (which actually most applications do). Adding separate DPI settings for each application doesn’t make it easier to use.
@EWal: Scaling is only supported on GNOME based desktop environments currently, apologies. The org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor value in gsettings is the one used by GNOME, so it’s not a new scaling setting.
@Michal_Mlejnek: I see. Currently Insync only scales in whole number steps (x2, x3, etc.). Since your scaling value is 1.5 it’s rounded down to 1. This will be changed in a future release.
@Valerio_Mariani: What Linux distribution and version are you using, and what desktop environment?
