HiDPI Hacks for Linux

Enpass

Add the following before the last line in the `runenpass.sh` of the Enpass installation directory

export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=$(gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor | cut -d " " -f 2)

hidpi.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Enable / Disable 2x Scaling for GNOME easily and quickly.
main() {
    if [ -z "$1" ]; then
        usage
        exit 1
    fi

    if [[ "$1" == "on" ]]; then
        echo "Turning on scaling"
        SCALE_FACTOR=2
        ICON_SIZE=48
    else
        echo "Turning off scaling"
        SCALE_FACTOR=1
        ICON_SIZE=32
    fi

    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor ${SCALE_FACTOR} 
    gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "[{'Gdk/WindowScalingFactor', <${SCALE_FACTOR}>}]"
    gsettings --schemadir ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/dash-to-dock@micxgx.gmail.com/schemas set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock dash-max-icon-size ${ICON_SIZE}
}

usage() {
    echo "Usage: $(basename $0) on|off"
}


main ${1}

spotify

#!/bin/bash

SCALING_FACTOR=$(gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor | cut -d " " -f 2)
/usr/bin/spotify --force-device-scale-factor=${SCALING_FACTOR} $@

Instructions

• Copy the files to your /usr/local/bin folder.

• Run hidpi.sh on to set interface to 2x scaling.

• Run hidpi.sh off to force no scaling.

• Logout and log back in for the best result.

• If you have installed Spotify the default .desktop file should launch the first instance it finds of spotify in your path, which will now be the script that controls scaling.
