XFCE doesn't support scaling the desktop yet and most Linux desktops don't. Gnome3 and Cinnamon seem to be the best at this right now.\r\n\r\nSome applications, such as chromium and firefox, do support scaling.\r\n\r\nThe solution for us is to create different versions of the Arc theme, and modify portions of the desktop to increase the sizes of the UI elements. We will create a hidpi package that pulls in these changed packages.\r\n\r\nThe reason for this solution is that Gtk2 doesn't support UI element scaling, nor does xfwm4. It would be too large of an undertaking to add all of this support ourselves. Gtk3 does support UI element scaling, so once XFCE moves to it, scaling the desktop should be easier.\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/GalliumOS/galliumos-distro/issues/comments/154221211","html_url":"https://github.com/GalliumOS/galliumos-distro/issues/44#issuecomment-154221211","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/GalliumOS/galliumos-distro/issues/44","id":154221211,"user":{"login":"hugegreenbug","id":1656137,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1656137?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/hugegreenbug","html_url":"https://github.com/hugegreenbug","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hugegreenbug/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hugegreenbug/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hugegreenbug/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hugegreenbug/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hugegreenbug/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hugegreenbug/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hugegreenbug/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hugegreenbug/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hugegreenbug/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-11-05T22:51:34Z","updated_at":"2015-11-05T22:51:34Z","body":"That would be great!"}}
