Joplin and HiDPi

I was curious if there is support for HiDPi in Joplin. I recently purchased a new laptop that has a such a display, and the menus and such are very small.

Any ideas?

Yes you can zoom in and out, this scales the menus and buttons.
You can see this under the View menu.

Joplin is rendering like a charm on Linux Mint Cinnamon (Gnome3) running at 4k.
I’ve been using Qownnotes for years (and really miss the scripting feature…), but qownnotes gets wreaked by highdpi - While joplin does not.

Yes, thank you, it’s great! I think I could have discovered the zoom thing, but probably wouldn’t have realized that it zoomed the whole interface.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm using Joplin 2.11.11 on a 4K+ Laptop.
I'm running Fedora 38 on Wayland.

Joplin scales well, so it's completely usable, but it seems that it doesn't render at a high definition.
Every icon or text is a little fuzzy, like every other non HiDPI app i'm running.

Is it Joplin related, Wayland (or XWayland) related ?
Is there a way to make it render at the native DPI ?

Cheers.

On Linux/Wayland, Joplin uses XWayland by default, which has trouble with fractional scaling. See comment for how to enable Wayland support.

Thanks for answering.
This fix is a bit too tecnical for me.
For now, I'll stick to this wee blurry version.
Maybe one day, it'll be Wayland native.
