Qt scaling with high-DPI monitors.
by sockst1tch from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6QA8A)
I'm somewhat of a novice when it comes to Linux compared to some of you, so bear with me.
I have a monitor with a resolution of 3840x2160, a 4K monitor. I've always tried to get Qt applications to look right but they just scale horribly with the resolution. Everything is so freakin small.
I know I can go in and set environment variables to scale the programs upon launch, but they still look...off... If I scale it with environment variables it looks like it just takes the image of the window and blows it up to be larger, which just makes everything look pixelated and gross.
Maybe Qt wasn't built to handle high-DPI displays?
I'm using Arch Linux with Xfce4.
