CodeLite on HDPI monitors

Post by emilhem »

Hello,

I've recently started learning C and tried out CodeLite since it's aimed at the C language (among other languages).

The issue that I'm experiencing is that the interface is tiny on my HDPI monitor. I can barely read stuff on the screen. Is there a way to fix/improve the DPI for CodeLite?

I need to buy a HiDPI screen and fix this ;)
Can you please post a screenshot of the editor area? (with an open file and the tree view?)

Thanks
Eran

A great excuse for buying a HDPI! :P

Note that I'm using Gnome 3.14.1 on an updated Debian 8.3

I'm having similar, albeit minor issues, when using CodeLite on laptop 13'' screen with 1920x1080 resolution (~1.32x scale) on Ubuntu. At one point, when hovering mouse on something, hovering popup information box was cut by half, but when trying to reproduce it, I could not get popup to appear again.

Actually, this issue can be reproduced on a normal display in Ubuntu (System Settings - Displays - Scale for menu and title bars). Running it inside VirtualBox and adjusting virtual display scale might help to simulate 2x display.
