Tiny Icons on HiDPI Screens #26

Closed electricsoldier closed 4 years ago

electricsoldier commented 4 years ago

Hi there, I saw your polybar themes on unixporn and love them. I am running into an issue however whereby it seems that many (I have not tried them all) of the themes come out looking really small on HiDPI screens. I've tried increasing the font size too, but maybe they have a maximum size.

I believe this to be a limitation with Siji, but I could be wrong, I'm a little new to fonts under linux. Just wondering if you know of this issue or know of a workaround. This is not particularly important, I don't want to bother you.

Love your work, thanks!

Ok, so it seems that because Siji is a bitmap font, it wont scale. I've switched to Material Icons and Iosevka, reworked the icons in the config, and I'm slowly getting there. I really wanted polybar 6 with style 2, so I found using Iosevka's arrows works well to get that powerline-like polybar look. Thanks again!
