controls (per monitor if there is more than one)
even better:
controls (per monitor if there is more than one and per application)

"setting a scale factor of two" is a much too simple logic IMO. There should be a number of scaling option (a logarithmic scale for this would obvious).Besides I am the user and I want controls (per monitor if there is more than one) so that I can tune it to my taste, the quality of my monitor(s) and the applications I use. It is OK that the desktop has a reasonable default, of course, but user controls could be at least "very_small .. small ..normal/default .. large ..very_large" for instance. System should not take control(s) away from user.I accept that there is an ongoing process, and it is not simple nor trivial. Various mainstream Linux desktops should agree on a common mechanism (so that it will work for KDE applications running in Gnome, for instance). But that is of course also not easy. I don't think the developers of different desktops communicate much and they use different 'abstraction layers' (various versions of qt and GTK as well as X11 versus Wayland (soon)) for development.-- Peter--On Sun, Jan 11, 2015 at 10:51 AM, drago01 <drago01@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:On Sun, Jan 11, 2015 at 12:07 AM, Peter Laursen <jazcyk@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

No I did not Florian did. And he meant "a high dpi display with a
vertical resolution of 1440" not "any display with a vertical
resolution of 1440"

Yes I know a hidpi display is one with ... a high dpi value ;)
What GNOME does is basically this: If the DPI (computed from screen
size *and* resolution) is bigger then 192 it will turn on hidpi
support which means
setting a scale factor of two.
So if you have 2560x1440 display with a size of 22 inch .. it won't do anything.
If you have a 2560x1440 display with a size of 12 inch ... it will
turn on hidpi scaling.
