Re: [platform-swt-dev] Testing HDPI support with a HDPI monitor?

[Leo Ufimtsev <lufimtse@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, 

Yes, you can run higher scaling without a big monitor, but everything will be humongous. 

If on Gnome, try increasing scalability factor:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2

(use 1 to return things back to normal).

Remember to restart eclipse.

If on KDE, try this article (I haven't tried this thou:)
http://hgdev.co/optimize-ubuntu-interface-scaling-on-hidpi-displays/

Just as FYI:

At the moment some SWT jUnit test cases fail in SWT when scaling is turned on (Something on my to-fix list).

Let me know if you had any success.

Thanks

Leo

Hi,

I do not have a HDPI monitor. Can I still test the new HDPI support?

I tried specifying the scale factor on the command line but this does
not make a difference.

./eclipse -Dswt.autoScale=10

or ./eclipse -Dswt.autoScale=2

result in the same L&L of IDE.

Best regards, Lars
