Fix UI scaling in Snap apps
Raw
scaling.md

On Kubuntu 19.10, snap apps install here:

/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications

To fix UI scaling, I just add the following flag to each of the .desktop files for Electron apps in that folder

--force-device-scale-factor=1.2

before %U and this seems to work well for making the UI about 20% larger, which fixes the issues that I had been having on my 1080p screen on a 13" laptop
