I've always wondered why we have to bother with HiDPI stuff at all. Seems kind of backwards to me to just scale things (pixels really) by an arbitrary factor. Why can't things be simply defined in terms of pixel-independent units? That way they'd look good regardless of the DPI. Don't get me wrong I'm sure a high-resolution display looks quite lovely with the Gnome HiDPI stuff turned on. But it would also look lovely if the GUI itself could simply scale to adapt to any resolution. Hopefully someone can enlighten me as to why after years of hearing about the promise of vector graphics allowing arbitrary and beautiful scaling of our user interfaces, we are stuck with this HiDPI kludge and apps that still think in pixels. And is this likely to ever change? _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
