Gnome 3.14 interface element are too big HiDPI

kevmegforest · 2015-02-26 13:59:31

I have some issues with the gnome Interface.

Here's some screenshots

As you can see the window application are scaled correctly but the gnome top bar and other UI stuff (run cmd) is way too big.

I've done the modification in the dconf-editor to make scaling-factor = 1 in org.gnome.desktop.interface. I've also forced the text-scaling to 1.00

Do you know a way to fix this.

Thank you

Open a terminal and type:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "{ 'Gdk/WindowScalingFactor':<2>, 'Gdk/UnscaledDPI':<92160> }"

That should force gnome-shell to scale properly. You may need to ALT+F2 and type r to reload the shell though.

Success,

it seems the error was that org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings active setting was not set.

As soon as i activated it the UI shrunk to the correct size.

Thank you very much.

I would'nt have checked by myself
