But the top screen text and the icon text as shown by my provided picture is not scaled and remains tiny, also mouse pointer. That is for gnome 3.18, it may be different for other gnome versions. It may be possible to tune the icon text, text on top of the screen and maybe even scrollbar with css. But I found many posts of people with problems, some sugested solutions, and some replies of people who wrote that the suggested solutions does not work for them. Have just found this https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2272686 this seems to work for the text at the top of the screen. Yesterday I tried font scaling instead -- I think that works fine for ALL gnome fonts, including the tiny ones on my picture. Unfortunately some web pages use absolute sized fonts and elements, which is a problem for gnome web browser. I consider firefox instead, which may offer independant and not too bad scaling. But for that case at least the too small scrollbars would remain. An additional option would be xrandr scaling as suggested by Arch wiki, but that is more a fine tuning, and I have not tested the impact on image quality and cpu usage yet. Do you know how an expression like export GDK_SCALE=2 can be applied permanentely? I tried it only in a shell and launched gedit after that. I am using systemd. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
