hiDPI / UI scaling

[ghost]

Hello,

I was browsing through the preferences and some docs, but I couldn't find a direct way to scale the UI? These days 4K res screens are pretty common and aside from OS scaling which often doesn't work properly and it's too broad anyway, it would be super useful if Gaffer could scale the UI from the preferences.

Hi,

You're not alone, there's an existing request for the same here. If you take a look at that thread there's some information about setting the QT_SCALE_FACTOR environment variable to control the UI scale. A value of 1.5 - 2 is likely appropriate depending on the size of your monitor.

Cheers,

M
