Everything in UI is too small - Manjaro 22.10 X11 nVidia (i.e. How do I force the Java Swing UI scale factor?)

[Theron]

UI is fine on another PC with an identical install. The only difference is that the other machine is Intel iGPU on Wayland
Any easy way to fix this? Changing skins doesn't help. It just results in a bunch of overlapping elements with a mix of huge and tiny buttons and text.

Thanks

You may be able to force a specific scale factor if Java Swing doesn't inherit that from your Desktop Environment:

Force UI scale factor: sun.java2d.uiScale = 1 | 2 | 4

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:properties --def sun.java2d.uiScale=2

that worked perfectly, can i try to make it even bigger?
edit... 2.5 was perfect
thanks

If you have any other Java Swing applications, then you can use -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2.5 for those applications as well:

Code: Select all

export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2.5"
