[SOLVED] Scaling Issues on Some Apps

Post by Raynold »

I'm running Mint 21.3 Cinnamon version 6.0.4 on a 3840 x 2160 resolution display. I have the monitor scaling set to 150%. Everything works fine with the exception of two apps. VNC Viewer and DaVinci Resolve seemed to have kept the original 100% scaling and look far too small on my current setting. This issue shows up using the NVIDIA xserver driver and the Nvidia 535 driver.

Is there a way to fix this so they are both displaying the proper resolution?

I've never used those apps, are they Qt apps by any chance?
You might want to look into Qt5 settings in the Menu.
Keep in mind that some apps use neither Qt nor GTK, and use their own GUI framework instead, so there are no settings for them (such as Steam).

How can I tell if the apps use QT?

Try going into the menu of one of them and then help > about.

It appears there are no settings for these particular apps. Appreciate the help. I will mark this as solved.
