HiDPI support #4549

Open ghost opened 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

Hi, is it possible to scale Autopsy on Linux? I'm using a 4k monitor and the interface looks really small.

Why was this issue closed?

JSkier21 commented 4 years ago

This should be re-opened. Once I load the Autopsy-Core in linux, the functional appearance of the app goes away; tiny fonts / interface.

Version: 10.19.31 Source: Autopsy 4.15.0

My apologies, perhaps this should be merged or closed in reference to https://github.com/sleuthkit/autopsy/issues/5849

It seems that this is an issue of Java 8 and lack of hidpi support, which autopsy may update what version of Java it uses from what I'm hearing.

Update on this (please excuse delay, I just use standard dpi for the most part). autopsy will load correctly with Java 11, but the plugins don't support that, they need Java 8. Activating the plugins in 8 and then going to 11 forces the plugins to fail to load, java reflect.InvocationTargetException. At this point, the core and other common plugins just need to be updated to work in Java 11 and this will be fixed.
