3 years ago What are your default settings for those variables?
Looking at the top bar, it uses BadgeRadioButton which uses Gtk.IconSize.BUTTON for the buttons. That should scale according to GTK's rules. I can't see anything special that we're doing, and in general I'd try to avoid scale-specific rendering because the toolkits can take care of all the corner cases far better than we can.
This Arch wiki article suggests that GDK will scale text but not icons.
I've never seen any benefit of going about 1440p at 1:1 scaling, so I don't know how people normally handle this.

Describe the bug I have a 28" 4K screen using KDE Plasma on Ubuntu 21.04, using display scaling 175%. In this setup, cawbird displays all except the tweet area as tiny, while the tweets are the expected size. In the screenshot, I have placed cawbird between a Konsole window and Firefox; you can see window decorations and icon sizes are very different.
It was suggested I try with combinations of GDK scaling env-vars; I did so but then the tweet text comes out massive. So,
looks like this:
and on the individual tweet page like/reply etc:
while:
looks like this:
that is, much larger than it was, and for me unusably so. I have tried changing various combinations of the 3 vars but couldn't find a version that did better. I have also tried setting all vars to '1' just in case there was a difference between unset and set to 1, but there isn't: '1' is the same as unset.
Trying with non-integral scaling, e.g. GDK_SCALE=1.75, is equivalent to the rounded down version, i.e. GDK_SCALE=1
