I’m trying out Bottles/Wine, I installed the wine-common package to have access to “winecfg” GUI menu. There, I put maximum text and applied to… Basically see something. After apply it worked into the Wine GUI (so where you set general settings).
BUT when I open anything in Bottles… The menu (icons, text) inside, so basically the app menu in itself, is still in tiny tiny tiny letters (and icons, context windows to save files or whatever) as if I didn’t do anything.
Meanwhile I could figure out where it saves the documents if I save them from inside the Bottle so for that at least, no problems. But it’s really eye/head aching to have to literally be 2 centimetres close to my screen to be able to maybe distinguish what’s written in the menu.
Is someone used to using Wine/Bottles and can help me about this ? I’m investigating just curiously in case someday it can be useful.
Thanks in advance for your guidance. You all rock !
What’s your screen resolution? It might be something to do with scaling / things in certain apps not scaling. I have to change my screen resolution to 1920x1200 and set scaling to 100% on a 4k screen if I want VMs in GNOME Boxes to scale properly. While at the same time if I use Virtual Machine Manager, I don’t.
Thanks for your advice for Boxes, indeed I wondered why it was so tiny there too !
As for the scaling, I searched a bit better inside of the Bottle I created and I found the settings of the bottle and in “Settings > Advanced display settings > Screen scaling”. It was set on 90 by default, I changed it to 200 and now it’s just normal !
It takes a little bit to charge in the beginning especially for fonts in context windows but nothing to feel slowed down about, at least in the software I tried it with. And I also saw I can set a desktop display with customised dimensions somewhere in that Advanced menu, so it’ll come handy in other cases I guess. Thanks having given me the clue of what to search for
