Poor resolution optimization #243

Open FernandoSudo opened 4 years ago

FernandoSudo commented 4 years ago

Sorry for my English, I used the google translator a lot uwu. I use a laptop with a 2k screen, and I have a problem with the options of the "monitors" app, because in the option of low pixels per inch the desktop environment becomes tiny with respect to my monitor, and in the option of "duplicate pixel" the lower parts of the windows are cut off (this only happens with the default apps, such as printers, keyboards, monitors, etc.). I don't know how to solve that problem, and I would like to add the option of, for example, a scrollbar, or change the size of the default apps more. Thanks you for reading this, I love Elementary OS.

I have a 4k monitor and personally, I decided to stop using the Pixel Doubled scaling factor. Rather, I set the scaling factor to LoDPI, then set the resolution to a lower resolution whose dimensions match my monitor.

Related. If I use Pixel-Doubled (or indeed any significantly large text) on a 1920x1080 screen various things are cut off or start breaking. It becomes impossible to disable pixel-doubling except by dropping to command line. Maximising elements of Pantheon stops working. No scroll bars. Not very accessible.

It's a shame, as the UI is gorgeous and usable. Just not by anyone with poor eyesight.

@rogalian under Desktop, in the Appearance tab, there is a setting to change the text size.

tintou commented 3 years ago

Pixel-Doubled setting is for the specific hardware with a high pixel density, it is not an accessibility feature.

rogalian commented 3 years ago

@tintou Scaling the text doesn't scale the UI elements as well. "Close" (X) remains tiny.

However the problem still remains. A 2.0 text scale on a 1920x1080 screen causes all manner of havoc. It may just be a GTK/Gnome thing. Fedora 33 (GNOME 3.38) copes with it, for what it's worth.
