The setting ui_scale does not work for the menu bar, right-click menu, mouse pointer.
I use Sublime Linux inside WSL2, the Windows host is 3840x2160 with 300% scaling. If I use the Windows scaling the result is blurry, thats why I did turn of scaling in the xserver and did set ui_scale to 3.0
Presumably because those are drawn by your window manager or something that ST has no control over?
I’d suggest using GDK_SCALE instead. Those elements are drawn by GTK and/or the window manager, so Sublime Text doesn’t scale those.
yes, thanks for the tip, not using sublime’s ui_scale but below settings before starting does fix a lot
export GDK_DPI_SCALE=1
export GDK_SCALE=3
The mousepointer is still very small when in the menu area
The mouse pointer is most likely drawn by X. There’s likely something similar for that.
I found that I can control the size of the mouse-cursor in the text-edit area with “export XCURSOR_SIZE=64”
However, when the mouse is a pointer in the menu-bar or the project folders/file, then it keeps very small.
It would probably be good to report the bug to Microsoft about WSL 2. They should be translating the Windows scale settings so it is seen via the GTK APIs.
