Description Francesco Di Lorenzo CLA 2016-11-02 04:59:34 EDT 
Hi, I have a pc with elementary os and on it I have successfully installed Eclipse Neon 4.6.1.
The problem is that the Eclipse GUI, is so great as to make it unusable.
My pc is connected with an HDMI cable to the TV as a monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080, so gnome-tweak-tool I changed the scale factor setting it to 2, so make the whole operating system usable.
The problem is that Eclipse does not seem interested in the scaling factor, just whatever it is, the graphical interface of the program remains unchanged, so too large to be used decently.
I searched on the forum before posting my problem, but unfortunately they all seem to have the opposite problem to mine, or extremely small icons! My own concerns rather the fact that the icons and all the eclipse system are so large as to be shelled.

Moving to SWT for investigation

Please try with 4.9 as the HiDPI logic has been re-written since Neon.
Comment 3 Eric Williams CLA 2019-01-04 13:25:31 EST 
Closing as there have been many HiDPI fixes since 4.6.1 and there hasn't been a response from the bug reporter in years.

Please reopen this ticket if the issue is reproducible against 4.10/11 on GTK3.22 or newer.
