Re: Interface very large - how to return to normal?

One solution to make the QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 by default is to add it to your /etc/environment file, and reboot. Thanks. This worked and as far as I can tell it doesn't affect other applications. Because you try to use HiDPI monitors with software (Qt) that does not support it well yet. My...

Re: Interface very large - how to return to normal?

QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0
QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=1
Same results as bob3000 here. Running
QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 vlc
shows a normal looking VLC media player, while
QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=1 vlc
shows one with a large interface.

How can I make this the default setting?

Re: Interface very large - how to return to normal?

Qt HiDPI mess hits again...
Could you elaborate? Now that you mention it it does look like HiDPI is somehow enabled. How to turn it off?

Interface very large - how to return to normal?

Hi, I'm using VLC on Ubuntu Gnome 18.04. Lately, the interface of VLC is abnormally large. Like it's zoomed 300% or something. It looks kind of similar to how I imagine VLC would look on something like a 640x480 screen (mine is 1980x1200), although not exactly because text size doesn't seem to be ef...
