Mixer: size issues (workaround) #669

Open joliclic opened 2 months ago

joliclic commented 2 months ago

I'm under Linux, Ubuntu 24.04, my screen size is 1920x1200. Elements in the Mixer view are really too big. The workaround is to launch the appimage with some QT values :

env QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1 QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=1 MuseScore-3.7-latest.AppImage -w %F

The size of elements in the Start Center are big too (without the workaround), that's ugly but usuable. The size of the splashscreen, when the app starts, seems better too with the correction.

Note: the workaround can be used in a launcher, i.e. a .desktop file, in the Exec= value.

And this is different from 3.6.2?

joliclic commented 2 months ago

I have the same problem with 3.6.2

Jojo-Schmitz commented 2 months ago

OK, so not a regression. What about MuseScore 4?

Not an issue on my Windows 11, with the same resolution (and a 100% scaling). Is this a HighDPI screen (higher than ~100DPI), i.e. what is the physical size (it is a 24" screen here)?

joliclic commented 2 months ago

This is a 14" screen, of a thinkpad T14s, and 1920x1200 is the max resolution available.

The mixer is ok with Musescore 4.4.2, but UI fonts are a little small by default.

So it is HighDPI, Sqrt(1920² + 1200²) / 14" ~ 162 DPI, while mine is ~ 94 DPI MuseScore is known to have issues with that, (esp. Mu3)

Not sure it exists on Linux, but in Windows there's a scaling value, on my (low DPI) screen set to 100%, but on a 14" laptop easily set to 160%. If you have such a setting, try reducing to like 120%

joliclic commented 2 months ago

You means by apps ? I have such an available setting in Gnome, but this modify the whole desktop, so all apps... But my workaround works very well, this bug doesn't bother me anymore ;) . Hope this can help somebody else. Thanks for maintaining this version 3.7!

Jojo-Schmitz commented 2 months ago

Yep, on Windows that setting too affects everthing, not just a single app.

Does https://musescore.org/en/node/233416 help?

joliclic commented 2 months ago

That's funny, the -D argument change the size of the UI elements, but not the mixer! UI Font size doesn't change too, but should be normal because of the settings in the preferences.

Jojo-Schmitz commented 2 months ago

There's also a -x option, a stretch factor

joliclic commented 2 months ago

the -x option change the icons size, but like the -D the size of the mixer controls does not change for me, nor the start center
