Dpi_scale Ubuntu 16.04 not working after 3200 upgrade

[davidalejandro]

Hi,

After upgrading to 3200, dpi_scale seems to no longer have any effect. Here’s how my UI looks now: https://i.gyazo.com/b73e5882d80d9daeb7b1aadbdc7d9e11.png

How can I fix this? The sidebar icons and text are too small!

Regards,
David

Seems like dpi_scale no longer works in Ubuntu, ui_scale is the way to go now. Here’s how my UI looks corrected: https://i.gyazo.com/94dc86efe273b3440fb4e6e9526d2fca.png

Setting dpi_scale doesn't work anymore in 3.2

Ideally with GTK3, your desktop scale should be auto-detected. If not, maybe spend a minute or two seeing why. As Keith said, the ui_scale setting allows zooming the UI, but without proper scale info I’m not sure dialogs and menus from GTK will be scaled properly.
