[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-2360) HiDPI scaling (and anti-aliasing on KDE) not applied automatically on Linux

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2360?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17446382#comment-17446382 ] 

Michal Hlavac commented on NETBEANS-2360:
-----------------------------------------

Hi Eirik, sorry for my late answer. No I haven't multiple monitors. I am using Dell XPS 15 laptop with 4K display.

When I run {{xdpyinfo | grep -B 2 resolution}} I get:
{code:java}
screen #0:
  dimensions:    3840x2160 pixels (508x285 millimeters)
  resolution:    192x193 dots per inch {code}
I don't know why I have dpi {{192x193}}

I checked Idea code and they check HiDpi in java code. Sample code is in [^CheckHiDpi.java]attachment.

> Running NetBeans 11 on Kubuntu 18.03, GUI text size does not seem to take into account the system's default HiDPI scaling. This was reported in a Twitter thread on https://twitter.com/nicktail/status/1114789604337405952 . Note that Window decorations seem to be the correct size.
> Setting the GDK_SCALE environment variable seems to fix the problem, if I understand the originally reporter correctly. This could probably be done easily from the NetBeans launcher script (netbeans/bin). But it wouldn't fix the problem in multi-monitor setups. We should investigate what could be done to make scaling work properly in multi-monitor setups involving one HiDPI screen and one non-HiDPI screen.
> Before merging a patch to the launcher script, it should be tested on a couple of different Linux environments, using both HiDPI and non-HiDPI screens. Note that the UNIX launcher script is also used on MacOS.
