MacBook Pro HiDPI Problem

Hello,

Lately I have installed Arch in my MacBook Pro Early 2015 13 inch. So far everything seems to be working fine except Spotify & Steam. As you can see in the Screenshot [1], Chrome looks fine, but Steam & Spotify both of their font is too small, very hard to read. Same problem with any apps I run using Crossover.

HiDPI value is 2 in Gnome. If I use spotify --force-device-scale-factor=2, Spotify runs perfectly. What I understand is, I have to correct the DPI for X Server. But how can I set the correct DPI for X Server.

[root@macbook-pro X11]# xdpyinfo | grep -B 2 resolution
xdpyinfo:  unable to open display "".

Either run xdpyinfo from an xterm inside an X sesssion , or tell it explicitly which display to get data from like this :
xdpyinfo -display :0.0
