Psyonico Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Hi all, I'm trying to make the switch over to Linux from Windows, specifically Ubuntu 22.04. I got Mids up and running through WINE but the program doesn't seem to scale right on my 4k monitor. As you can see, everything is really tiny. I've tried resizing the window (which changes the scale of everything in Win10) but nothing seems to resize. I've also tried changing the DPI settings in my WINECFG but that only affected the text size (which made the program harder to use). It doesn't look like you can force WINE to use a specific resolution for a program, which would fix the problem, as when I lower the resolution of my monitor everything works fine. Anyone have experience with this and know of any solutions? Thanks, What this team needs is more Defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digirium Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) No, the window and contents do not scale for me either on Linux. The size of the fonts can be changed under Options -> Configuration in the Enhancements and View tab and that might help you make the text readable. What are the physical dimensions of your 4k monitor? I did notice something tho -- Mids seems to remember the x and y size of the window across close and open. If the window is stretched, the application closed and opened again, for a moment it re-scales the contents of the window then snaps the window back to smaller size, reverting the momentary re-scale on contents. If it was pinned down why the application did that, it might then allow re-scaling.

Psyonico Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Im running Ubuntu 22.04 Mids 3.2.17 and an Acer 27 inch monitor. I was actually originally trying this on my Asus laptop that has a 17" 4k monitor. It seems better on my Acer display, probably because of the lower pixel density, but I still need to get a bit closer to it to be able to read some things.

Zed Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Hi It won't scale on windows either, Mids is unaware of high dpi settings and the main area has a max size. You may change font sizes - to some extent - but nothing can be done for the main graphics. Keep in mind what you see in the main window on the right is just a single drawn surface. To keep it simple, it has its own rules for text rendering and you can only scale down power buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
