I’m using Darktable on a WQHD display (2560 × 1440 pixel). For my taste the GUI elements are a bit to small on such highresolution monitors. It’s getting even wore if you use a 4K screen.
Fortunately a simple commandline parameter will fix the problem:
--conf screen_dpi_overwrite=120
This will scale the sice of all GUI elements with a factor of 1.2 (at least on my Windows system). Instead of 120, you can use even higher values which will result in a higher scale.
To use this parameter on Windows follow these steps:
-
Create a shortcut for Darktable
-
Right-click on the shortcut and click on “Properties”
-
Got to the tab “Shortcut”
-
Click inside the “Target” box and move the cursor to the end of the line (after the “) and add a space character
-
Now you can append the paramter from above
-
Click “Apply”
Starting Darktable using this shortcut will open it with a scaled GUI.
