App resolution is too high and does not follow system settings

[sang-shelton]

I have mentioned this issue here and the same is happening with hardinfo.

hardinfo version: 0.6-alpha

When i run hardinfo, i see this:

[mckaygerhard]

1. from where you install hardinfo
2. so then based on 1 the gtk version you run hardinfo
3. so then the gtk theme applied to the env that hardinfo runs

all of those will cause your vehabiour.. without such info we can guess what happened @sang-shelton

[sang-shelton]

from where you install hardinfo

From the official debian repos on MX Linux.

so then based on 1 the gtk version you run hardinfo

so then the gtk theme applied to the env that hardinfo runs

Yes i think so, most apps have the same theme. Also apps like "Backups" are displaying correctly:

I think it has to do with the GTK version used in creating the app.

Also i have GTK scaling set to 2 automatically and many other gtk apps display correctly:

[mckaygerhard]

your hardinfo seems builds in different gtk theme that's all.. it happened to me also.. by example when i runs in lxde runs fine.. but not in mate until i set property the theme..

this is not a hardinfo issue.. is a gtk sync issue due gtk2/gtk3 mixture or theme mixture ...

I posted on MX Linux forum and the developer told me that not all apps support gtk3 scaling, this means that the developer of hardinfo has to upgrade the app to use gtk3. I hope when this happens, the app will appear in it's desired size.

[mckaygerhard]

@sang-shelton i guess you miscunderstand.. it means that is not hardinfo problem.. gtk3 scaling is bad but if you wants to try .. just recompile hardinfo with GTK3 .. but i already do in the past and this issue is already happened.. gtk3 is not the best, author already give up vote to new hardinfo2, please post there https://github.com/hardinfo2/hardinfo2 that by default already uses gtk3 but i already uses and gives me same problem

please remmebered post feedback and close the issue if any

[lpereira]

Hardinfo is now being developed at @hardinfo2/hardinfo2. Please ask your distro to package that instead. It should support GTK3, although GTK2 is still the default AFAIK.

I compiled and installed the deb package for hardinfo2 and it worked and displayed fine:

compared to hardinfo:

Thanks for help
