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

Thanks for the detailed response Markus!
My bad, I totally missed the missing "-vmargs" in the command line in my earlier reply...

The simplest way on GTK is to set the GDK_DPI_SCALE environment variable before launching eclipse.
E.g. for 150%:
GDK_DPI_SCALE=1.5 ./eclipse
> ./eclipse -Dswt.autoScale=2
This doesn't do anything because you don't pass the -D... as vm argument.
To *only* change the SWT scale factor (but not the fonts that get scaled by the OS), you would use the following:
./eclipse -vmargs -Dswt.autoScale=200
Note that the swt.autoScale property is not meant to be used by end users. It's just there as a fallback in case the automatic detection somehow went terribly wrong.
On Windows 7, there's no good way to test this other than using the Display control panel to choose a percentage or set a custom text size (DPI), and then logging out.
I'll finish and push the N&N entry about this ASAP.
