Resize Ghidra for High DPI screens

If you run Ghidra on a high DPI screen, you will probably find the GUI to be scaled down so small to be almost of no use.

There is a setting that you can adjust to scale the Ghidra GUI:

in $GHIDRA_ROOT/support is a file named launch.properties. In this launch.properties file is the following configuration key:

VMARGS_LINUX=-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=1

Change this line to:

VMARGS_LINUX=-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2

Then launch ghidra and you should be good to go!

Thanks for this. Exactly what I needed.

Any way to have fractional scaling?

Thanks, rly needed this cause i have a 4k monitor

For Windows, VMARGS_WINDOWS=-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2.

It'll look really big when you have 150% scaling enabled but it's better than being really small 😄 !

increase text size in ghidra

awesome, just what I needed!

I've been running ghidra on my macbook pro with Ubuntu for months and it was killing me. Thanks a lot!

thanks

Thanks, man. I needed this.

awsome ,it worked wonders thankss!!

If we can do this with a config file parameter, it should be something the program can work out on the fly and just "fix". Anyway, great call. Works on W11. Thanks!!
