How to change scaling or font size on Linux

[CDenk.1]

Hi,

StM32CubeProgrammer shows up realy tiny on my Linux laptop screen (2560:1600), please see screenshot.

Something similar happened to STM32CubeMx inside the IDE, I could fix that starting the IDE with

GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.5 GDK_SCALE=2 /opt/st/stm32cubeide_1.7.0/stm32cubeide

How to display the Programmer with a reasonable size? The text is almost impossible to read.

Thanx for any help!

Hi CDenk.1,

I 'm not able to reproduce this issue but may be you can try to modify the script launcher to upscale the size.

Can you please locate the launcher script STM32CubeProgrammerLauncher under CubePRogrammer install folder and modify this line as follow :

$DIR/jre/bin/java -jar -Dsun.java2d.dpiaware=false $DIR/STM32CubeProgrammerLauncher

Please try and tell me if it is OK.

Dear Houda, sorry I did not see your answer til today. I tried your suggestion but this does not seem to work due to the java version used. It has no effect on the scaling behaviour of the app.

Has anyone found an answer to this? I have a 4k screen, running Ubuntu, and the application is completely unusable because it is so small. I have tried several workarounds and none work.
