Gnome general size on 4K monitor

I went from a 24 inch 4K monitor to a 27 inch 4K.
I use GNOME 44.
With the old monitor I had set the scale factor to 1 from GNOME Tweak / Characters and everything was proportionate and perfect.
In the 27 inch I set it to 1.8.
GNOME Shell black topbar is perfect but the bottom bar dock with the icons is too small, some applications are too small, nautilus despite having increased the size of the icons with control+ has a tiny topbar as well as the preferences, as well as epphany and all applications in GTK4. Firefox is perfect.

It's kind of a hybrid.

How can I standardize everything?

Thanks

Re: Gnome general size on 4K monitor

Did you change the per-monitor scaling factor in gnome settings?  If not you only changed the scale of text and text-like elements, so no wonder it's off in some places.

Re: Gnome general size on 4K monitor

Thanks lunaryorn.

I had ignored that setting.

Everything was huge but it was enough to bring the scaling of the characters from 1.8 to 1, reduce the icons with control + and set the per-monitor scaling to 200 and everything is back as I remembered it (a little big high, i want to understand if there is a setting in dconf to set for example it to 180).
I only notice a strange glitch as soon as I quickly move a nautilus window (I didn't remember it on my old Dell) but maybe it depends on the quality of the monitor..
