Description Hans 2021-12-11 02:06:23 UTC

SUMMARY
On my high-DPI display, Krita is very small.  I would like an option to increase the DPI scaling via preferences in-app.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Procure a Surface Book 3 (3240x2160)
2.  Set the display scale to 150%
3. Install/Run Krita
4. Squint

OBSERVED RESULT
Yeah, I mean, I guess it runs as expected for the resolution, but...

EXPECTED RESULT
I'd like to have the option to override the system DPI scaling and increase the size of UI elements within Krita.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Installed via Chocolatey

You can enable hidpi scaling in the settings, or set a scale factor using one of the environment variables detailed here: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/highdpi.html

I would rather not complicate things by offering even more high-DPI scaling options in the UI. Following the user's choice of screen scaling and font size is enough for almost all users and we already have two toggle options regarding that. If you really want different then please set the environment variables pointed out by Halla.

It was the hidpi settings I was looking for - they just weren't where I expected them to be. I was looking for a tab under the Display options.
