Description D W CLA 2018-09-25 02:39:31 EDT
I'm running Fedora 28 on my Lenovo Yoga 920 with a 3840*2160 display.  The system's defalut scaling is 200%. I found that eclipse UI are not in the same scaling, so it's impossible for me to find a balanced scaling for eclipse. I also found same issue on my friend's machine, who is using alienware but also with a 4k display and Fedora28.

I have been messing around all SWT's auto-scaling command that I can find in this webpage https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.6/platform.php#swt-autoscale-tweaks

ICON ON THE TOOLBARS(new project, save, debug, run) and MEUN AND VIEW(outline, package explorer, ect) size scaling are not in the synchronized.
Toolbar icons scale is following my original display resolution (3840*2160), in another word, they may not be enlarged by the system setting, but ide menus and views are enlarged by 200%(followed fedora system setting).

So if I set auto-scaling to 200 in eclipse.ini. The toolbar menu will be scaled up to a comfortable size, at the same time, menus and views (even the loading picture) will be scale to oversize.

I'm not sure this belongs in PDE, but I do at least see the same issue with the splashscreen image scaling but its frame remaining the original size.

Is this still an issu? I don't have 4k monitor to test things.
