Robomongo: When the application is launched on the high resolution monitor the view gets shrinked out

[riginoommen]

Here is the screenshot
The options sizes are not adjusted automatically according to the screensize

Hi @riginoommen , thanks for reporting the issue.
Can you please provide details about your OS and resolution? And can you share screenshot of Robomongo with another window (some system window etc..) to see the problem better.

@simsekgokhan Hello the screen resolution is 1920*1080

[riginoommen]

@simsekgokhan The operating system is Fedora 23

[simsekgokhan]

@riginoommen Thank you.

Currently, DPI awareness and full Hi-DPI support is one of our most important development topics for future releases. It is important to note that Robomongo uses Qt , and currently Qt is not ready to support all Hi-DPI world (especially for linux distributions; for Windows and MAC it looks better). We do have lots of additional code to handle situations where Qt does not support yet, but it is way too many for us to handle for now. But still, we will do our best to handle.

For possible workaround solution, I suggest to look at this one:
https://github.com/paralect/robomongo/issues/1104#issuecomment-244914667
(This solution is tested on Ubuntu, but it might be applied in a similar way for your OS).

If it does not work, please let us know, we will work to find a workaround solution for your OS.
Warm Regards - Gokhan

It's happening also to me.
I have 2 screens with different resolutions. The GUI doesn't "adjust" his resolution when dragged to the other screen.

Try running robomongo with the following command:
QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS="1;1.75;1.75" /path/to/robomongo/robomongo
You'll need to adjust the numbers, as those will represent each of your monitors.

In my case I have a laptop with two monitors attached. By using QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS I'm setting scaling for laptop's display is 1 and scaling for the other two monitors is 1.75. By setting this option only when running robomongo the setting will not affect any other program.

I'm running Ubuntu 17.04. Laptops resolution is 1920x1080 and the two attached monitors are 1920x1200.

EDIT: This doesn't really fix the issue completely. Even after this the fonts are a bit blurry on the two attached displays.

I was a bit hasty with my comment earlier. I now got it working when running robomongo with the command:
QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR="0" /path/to/robomongo/robomongo

I don't have any problems with other programs, but if I notice any I'll probably set this as an environmental variable.

For me it was not actually neccessary to set scale factors for individual monitors.

1. download it from the official website
2. tar -xvzf robo3t-1.2.1-linux-x86_64-3e50a65.tar.gz
3. create a directory called "robomongo" inside /usr/local/bin/
4. sudo mv robo3t-1.2.1-linux-x86_64-3e50a65/* /usr/local/bin/robomongo/
5. sudo chmod +x robomongo
6. sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/robomongo/bin/robo3t /usr/local/bin/robo3t
7. QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR="0" /usr/local/bin/robo3t

Complete answer for @ajrafrakib, If you need to make desktop icon for rodo 3T include solve of High Resolution

Follow this steps:

1- Save icon image into Your Desktop to move to /opt/robo3t folder [install folder for program]
2- create desktop icon file -> vim ~/.local/share/applications/robo3t.desktop
3 - write into desktop icon file next:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Robo 3T
Exec=env QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 robo3t
Icon=/opt/robo3t/{download-icon-file-name}.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Development;

FYI the problem still exists with Robo 3T 1.2.1.

It's solved with QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR="0" /path/to/robomongo/robomongo

I installed _Robo 3T 1.3.1_ in _Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS_ with snaps and still facing the same issue.

I solved the problem following the @ahmed-hamdy90 answer.

But .desktop files for snaps are located in /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications and the Robo 3T .desktop file is called robo3t-snap_robo3t.desktop.

I make it work under the compatibility mode using Window 8 and it worked fine
