I’m running Linux Mint MATE edition on a laptop with a 4K 15.6 inch display. This means that the UI of most programs have to be scaled to be readable.
I know Sublime Text 3 got high dpi support in build 3036 (“Added support for High DPI, controlled by the GTK Text Scaling Factor”), which can be enabled by changing the gsettings/dconf key org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor to something greater than 1.0 (2.0 works great on my display), for example using the command
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 2.0The problem is that, for this to work, I need to have gnome-settings-daemon running. But MATE uses it’s own settings daemon (mate-settings-daemon), and running both of them at the same time is not possible.
Does anyone know of a way around this?
PS: For those interested in knowing how I know a scaling factor of 2 works good, I have successfully enabled high dpi mode in Sublime Text 3 by running a different window manager that doesn’t load any settings-daemon by default (i3wm), and loading gnome-settings-daemon manually.
