Re: [Fluxbox-users] fluxbox styles for HiDPI screens

[Michael M. T. <mt...@ma...>]

Hi Massimo,

you're absolutely right. I would miss Fluxbox, and therefore I
am trying to avoid any of those 'other' window managers (clunky
with lots of additional libraries)...

I did minimally rescale the resolution in X windows with xrandr,
but there is a reasonable limit, of course. Otherwise: Why have
a HiDPI screen?

Without 'HiDPI Windows scaling' a good compromise would be a
style which doubles the size of titlebars etc.

Best,
      Michael

P.S.: I sent a screen photo requested by higuita, but the attachment
      is large. It will take a while to pass the fluxbox-users
      moderator (hopefully!).
