Bug#913: Inaccurate scaling of dialog boxes and fonts for large DPI screen in Windows 10
Package: x2goclient for windows Version: 4.0.5.0
Downloaded new version of x2goclient for a new Dell Laptop. Screen resolution 3200x1800. OS Windows 10 (just checked, same problem on similar machine in Windows 8.1) When I open the main program, the fonts and windows do not scale well in the session selection boxes When I create a new session and try to open it, I can not see the list of open sessions to connect to.
This appears to be a scaling issue for high DPI systems.
I tried Windows 7, Windows 8 compatibility modes. I tries to disable display scaling on high DPI systems (see attached images)
It appears to be DPI unaware.
My fix for Gnome 3 at 200% on Debian Bullseye:
- Create a copy of the .desktop to home directory
$ cp /usr/share/applications/x2goclient.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
- Change exec= in ~/.local/share/applications/x2goclient.desktop Exec=env QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1 x2goclient
I found this recommendation in https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/highdpi.html "To get an application designed for low DPI values running on high resolution monitors quickly, consider one of the following:" "set the QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR environment variable to 1."
Thanks to akik in the #x2go IRC channel for pointing me in the right direction.

thanks for providing this bit of info. I just tested this from an i3
desktop locally and it fails on a 4k display by whatever reason.
What works for me, though, is:
env QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2 x2goclient
However, the overall fix will be making X2Go Client HiDPI aware.
