32 inch 4k screen

[Bajocensis]

Hello everyone,

I’ve been using Windowmaker since… 2000 ! I have never found a better window manager for my use.

However, recently, I acquired a 32 inch 4k screen, and there was a problem. Windowmaker does not seem suitable for this type of screen (icon size, refresh, etc.). For example, with VLC, the image is jerky, it blurs...

Any help to avoid migrating to Gnome or a similar manager? Many thanks !

Best regards, Bajo

you can use xrandr to scale everything.

let's say

xrandr --output eDP1 --scale 0.7x0.7

bajo@Debian:~$ xrandr --output eDP1 --scale 0.7x0.7 warning: output eDP1 not found; ignoring

You can see the names of your outputs by doing:

xrandr -q

Just look for the one that is "connected"

Getting the screen name: xrandr | grep connected | grep -v disconnected | awk '{print $1}' Reduce the screen size by 20% (zoom-in) xrandr --output screen-name --scale 0.8x0.8

Thanks for your help.

I tried, unfortunetly :

bajo@Debian:~$ xrandr | grep connected | grep -v disconnected | awk '{print $1}' XWAYLAND0 bajo@Debian:~$ xrandr --output XWAYLAND0 --scale 0.8x0.8 X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 139 (RANDR) Minor opcode of failed request: 7 (RRSetScreenSize) Serial number of failed request: 22 Current serial number in output stream: 24
