Vortex: Add Global Menu Option for Vortex Scale Factor #1113

Closed sonic2kk closed 1 month ago

sonic2kk commented 1 month ago

Adds an option on the Global Menu to set the --device-scale-factor flag when starting Vortex. This is a general parameter that can be passed to any standard Electron application (including games, it's useful for Cookie Clicker!).

On Plasma Wayland with Plasma's option for telling X11 applications to handle scaling themselves, this makes the applications look very small on scaled displays. You can set the Vortex GUI Scale Factor to match the scale factor of your display. For example, 150% scaling would correspond to setting a GUI Scale Factor of "1.5".

This is not just limited to Wayland and display scaling, either. This can be generally useful if you want to make the GUI bigger for any reason.

Tested this with Vortex and it seems to work fine.
