Please make a better Scaling for 4K screens - Zoom, DPI

[Smithy]

I have a 4K screen and the layout in qubes R3.2 is unusable
even with the DPI scaling and the text size modification tool.

-qubes manager is tiny and can not be scaled
-debian and other vms are tiny

the qubes manager tab should be able to be zoomed in and scaled
same with any other window there is with settings that can be saved.

ubuntu does a great job with that.
it would be great if that can be put inside the next release.

Qubes manager does respect global font DPI setting, so it shouldn't be a
problem. It isn't ideal tough:

Have you tried something like this?

$ sudo qubes-dom0-update gnome-tweak-tools

We're working on it, but the milestone for this is 4.0, not 3.2:

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1951

...at which point, Qubes Manager as we currently know it should be
gone anyway:
