Oversized UI

[mint coyote]

The UI is to big, I can't find anyway to shrink it, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Normally you maximise the editors, and then toggle (F5..8) to the editor you want to use. All editors are not meant to be opened side by side.

I'm curious if the qt application scaling was set somehow
What does running echo $QT_SCALE_FACTOR in the terminal return?

[mint coyote]

nothing

[mint coyote]

It opens to this by default

I can maximise the tabs but the text is still overly big

[obtuse nova]

but the text is still overly big
I have lousy eyes, but where is there any overly big text on your screen-shot??

[mint coyote]

The whole ui, I would prefer it to be half the size

What happens if you run QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1 lmms?

[mint coyote]

I tried the apt install instead of the image and it is to small now

I would like something right inbetween, I tried to set the QT_SCALE_FACTOR but it could not set it as a realtime priority.

Idk if this work -It has for others :
as root user create a file and name it
gnome-qt.sh
Place this file in
/etc/profile.d directory
Open the file in editor and type :
export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0

i think thats gnome specific, and OP is on cinnamon

[obtuse nova]

I found one special for Debian:
in a .desktop file type
Exec=env QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS="eDP-1=1.5" lmms %f
But honestly, i think the UI you have is optimal, cant understand why you want it tiny 🙃 Most want to get larger/bigger-
Personally i would love it HUGE due to 🦇 sight...

After looking back at it it looks reasonable
