Client: Keybase client app and unusable on HiDPI displays

Created on 11 Feb 2017  路  9Comments  路  Source: keybase/client

I have Ubuntu 16.10 on a Dell Precision 5510m with a 3840x2160 resolution display (~280ppi) and the text is so small that the app is unusable. Also can't find a way of making the text bigger.

Hi, you can now increase the font size with Ctrl-+. Please make a new issue if you still have trouble, thanks!

Any news on this? This is a pretty big usability problem.

I'm experiencing this problem too on a Dell XPS 15 with a 3840x2160 display running Manjaro Gnome.
Keybase UI is completely unusable.

The systemd unit changes in https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/5797 fixed it for me, using Ubuntu 18.04.
