Scaling issue with KNIME on high resolution displays

[Gentleman0758]

Why does the scaling on my knime look so small to a point where i cant read any text on KNIME. (see screenshot)

I am using KNIME on Ubuntu 22.04 on Dell XPS 13 (screen resolution 3840x2400)

Please let me know for more information.

Dear @Gentleman0758,

Thank you for your feedback. I created a ticket to add scaling settings to MUI preferences: NXT-2535

In the meantime, you can add this “experimental” system property in the knime.ini file to modify the MUI scaling:
-Dorg.knime.ui.zoomfactor=2.0

Reports: sum of groups

There is an inofficial system property to generally scale (modern) UI which might help you with the small fonts. Add, e.g., -Dorg.knime.ui.zoomfactor=2.0 to your knime.ini. It’s inofficial because we eventually want to introduce it as a user-setting and remove the system property.
