    MBWD - 2018-01-29

    When I use the latest rEFInd version (installed from binary file on Linux - Ubuntu or Fedora), rEFInd boots with a hugely zoomed screen (or that's what it looks like). If I downgrade to 0.10.8, it works fine again and the icons are the right size. Any idea why this happens or how to fix?

    This was changed in 0.10.9 - the fix is to put small_icon_size in refind.conf (according to the release notes)

    From the release notes:

    0.10.9 (7/30/2017)—This version sees changes in some graphics features and in the build process....

    • To better support HiDPI/retina displays, rEFInd now automatically scales its icons and text to twice the usual size on displays wider than 1920 pixels. This change does not affect text mode (for which setting the textmode option in refind.conf is still necessary. Explicitly setting either small_icon_size or big_icon_size in refind.conf disables this feature, so you can explicitly set any icon or font size you like in the usual way.
