Problems On High DPI (4K) Screen
I'm trying to get REAPER set up on a 4K/27" screen on Kubuntu 20.04, and there are two things I can't get to work.
The first is the font size. In libSwell.colortheme, there are only two options. The menu font size, which works fine, and the default font size which causes problems. Setting the default font size to something big makes fixed size elements like the Preferences Menu and Buttons unreadable. Is there a way to fix this? Also, the way the text is rendered is pretty ugly. Is there a way to smooth it? My second issue is gap at the top between the menu bar an the rest. The first time I open a fresh install of reaper, it's not there. But then it appears every subsequent time. Any help would be greatly appreciated |

Any luck?
Did you have any luck solving the font scaling issue? I have the same problem with a high dpi screen on Arch Linux/i3wm. Despite tweaking libSwell.colortheme and the Advanced gui preferences in Reaper, I also changed the Xft.dpi factor in the .Xressources file in my home directory, which works for most programs but doesn't affect the Reaper gui at all.

Unfortunately, I haven't. I've switched to Manjaro/KDE in the meantime, and the problem persists there too.
I guess we'll have to wait for Cockos to fix it. |

I found the answer to the font scaling issue thanks to this thread: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=248775
In Code:
~/.config/REAPER/reaper.ini Code:
ui_scale=1 The weird gap is still their though. Any ideas? Last edited by Held; 01-31-2021 at 10:43 AM. Reason: typo |

I don't know who came up with the idea that text elements would have fixed sizes, but it seems like an obiviously bad idea. |

The font thing is driving me CRAZY! ui scaling does not solve it, changing every WALTER font does not solve it, using AnalogDessert's script does not solve it. I am looking at the font size in a Video Processor code box, or MegaBaby sequencer, and it is BEYOND tiny, just like completely unreadable. Honestly getting kind of pissed that this is still an issue 5 years after it was first pointed out (to my knowledge) |

It is unfortunate. I'm just using an external monitor for the time being
to hold my reaper windows and ignoring the problem. My laptop screen is highDPI. You can adjust the font in the file libSwell-user.colortheme, which should be in your reaper directory. Mine is currently set to: Code:
# libSwell-user.colortheme default_font_face NotoSansNerdFontPropo-Bold default_font_size 14 menubar_font_size 14 |
