I couldn't figure out how to scale i3 to the high DPI on my Yoga 900, with Wayland on F25.

- sevensor 10y agoIf you're on Wayland, use Sway instead. It feels so much like i3 that I often forget it's not i3. Hidpi works pretty well: https://github.com/SirCmpwn/sway/issues/797 https://github.com/SirCmpwn/sway/issues/797. I use this on a Dell Precision with the 4k display.

- cryptarch 10y agoWhat do you mean by "scale i3"? Just the text drawn by i3 or also the managed windows?
- doubleplusgood 10y agoI meant scale the entirety of the interface. I'll try Sway, as apparently i3 and Wayland isn't really a supported combination.
- secure 10y agoUse xrandr --dpi 192 (or whichever value you’d like to use) before starting i3, i.e. typically in your ~/.Xsession. i3 ≥ v4.13 will pick up this value from the Xft.dpi resource in ~/.Xresources as well, which is the more common way of configuring DPI. edit: haven’t tested this within Xwayland, though. Note that i3 is only supported on X11.
