[QGIS-Developer] Call of testing of nightlies on hi-dpi displays

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi Nyall,

Happy to do some testing, I do have a (dual boot) laptop/tablet with 3000x2000 screen (that's high-dpi, yes?), but in Gnome I set the Display 'Scale' on 200% to have proper applications (an to me readable text :-) ).

Is there some test plan/idea's?
Is my setup something you want to test (200%), or is is preferred to use the 100% scale?
I'm not sure what is supposed to be the 'normal' way of scaling (like what does a mac do)?
Or is it more to try to see if the icons/widgets scale up/down when fidling with scale (or what it is called in Windows)?

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
