Linux Mint Mate Desktop - scaling 100% 200% Mate-Tweake Gnome-Tweake - is ther ea better way?
by Agnes1998 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6ENKE)
Hello!
I change from Windows Microsoft 10 to Linux Mint, a few month before.
So far so good! But some adjustments are not so simple for me.
Inside the cinnamon Desktop I could not find a Procedure to increase the header windows close maximize Minimize buttons.
So I changed to Mate Desktop environment .
Now, i tried to change the scaling of the Display - i use a Notebook / Laptop Dell 13" (fractional scaling)
In the Display Setting I only Found the choice 100% or 200%.
As I don`t what to change the Resolution (HD) I looked for other possibilities.
The Mate Tweaks only brings an other GUI Window - but the same 100% or 200% Scaling.
In between I found the Gnome-Tweaks - it works like in Cinnamon Desktop, but at first I only Found to start directly after installation. (In my language German "Anwenungsverwaltung")
But is is not integrated in the Window appearing with the Start Button down left side.
A search (Gnome-Tweaks) brings a start-able folder / icon / file. ??
I copy this to the Mate Desktop - but it needs some clicks to start the Gnome- Tweaks.
As in Cinnamon I set the scaling to 1,4 (My choice) below the fonts settings.
It works - but I looking for a better way - best would be integrated into the start Button menu - System settings or to find with a search inside this.
My English is not so good and I m not native speaker. But I hope You understand an can give some help in this Linux Forum Community. My computerbaseics are not so good
Thanks
PS.: The adjustments of the symbol pixel in usr share themes ....gtk-3.0
under cinnamon didn't work - that's why I changed to Mate Desktop environment, witch offers bigger close minimize maximize icons on the top of a Desktop Window in Linux Mint / Monitor Display)LinuxMintUsers.de
