Robomongo: Robo 3T controls and text is so small

[matgenois]

As you can see on this image, everything is so small, almost unusable. This as begun when I was using Robomongo 0.9. Then I' have upgraded, I have deleted ~/.config/robomongo/* and ~/.3T/* and I have didn't change anything. Help would be greatly appreciated. I have an Asus US303ub where resolution is like 3600x1800 but i run it in 1800x900 because in default resolution, everything is so small. Don't know if it could be linked.

Hi @matgenois , thanks for reporting the problem.
It is a known problem and it is in our priority list.

Can you try the methods below?

---

1 ) Increase all UI element size (change QT_SCALE_FACTOR)

a) On the fly
QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.5 /path/to/robo3t

More: https://github.com/Studio3T/robomongo/issues/1199#issuecomment-295134277

b) Permanently
This option should change all Qt-based system applications icon/text size.

2 ) Change "textFontPointSize" in config file
This option should change only Robo 3T text font size.

I can confirm that 1a and 1b works fine. 1b has generated error report on reboot so I think i'll use 1a through a script if I get these errors on every boot. Thanks!

This is still a problem in the commercial Studio 3T product. Only the editor font can be configured. Query results look very small, and seemingly impossible to zoom into. MongoDB Compass supports zooming.

I found that setting QT_FONT_DPI=128 worked better than other suggestions here. Qt really needs to get their act together!

eg: QT_FONT_DPI=128 bin/robo3t &
