It changes the scaling of the rendering done by the graphics engine, and affects anything that would render to an absolute size. In other words, if you do any computer aided design, and want something generated on screen at a specific size (such as graphics measured in mm or inches, fonts at point sizes, page renderings at 100% actual size, etc), you can't do it any more. They'll be incorrectly sized. What you (and many others) really need is a GUI where the GUI size (icons, windows, etc) are user-adjustable in the same manner as you can customise fonts. I don't know if Fedora has one. Fortunately, for me, whoever set up the GUI size seems to have to picked one that is usable with the usual screen resolutions my monitors support, excepting the annoyance of trying to find the invisible tiny amount of space used to resize windows. But for those with low or very high resolution screens, not so lucky. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.13.16-202.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Nov 30 15:39:32 UTC 2017 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
