I have laptop with 4k aka retina display, i am developer and i need to work with Idea IDE. It has great hidpi support, but when i run it from plasma i see tiny fonts and controls. When i run it from GNOME everything has normal size. I don't know, how idea detects my dpi, but, i suppose, this method doesn't work in plasma. Idea has special config for hidpi(-Dhidpi=true), but it doesn't work in plasma Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into plasma with 4k display 2. Run idea IDE Actual Results: Everything is tiny: fonts, controls. HiDPI support disabled Expected Results: All fonts and controls has normal size. ArchLinux latest, plasma 5.5. idea 15 and rubymine 7 - the same IDE engine, the same result
add the flag to studio64.vmoptions -Dhidpi=true and it works. We use the standard xft setting for font DPI, and they use some gnome specific custom thing. If we're following convention, it's up for intelliji to support us, not the other way round.
Hi, David, thanks for answer! I already have -Dhidpi=true and it doesn't work for me in plasma=(. I suppose, i should create bugreport in jetbrains tracker
It is same for me as well. I added the required flag, but everything is still tiny. I haven't checked in other DE's though, since I only have KDE.
