3840x2160 Resolution - How to change: Icon, Windows and Text Sizes?
Daniil .Travnikov
I bought Oryx Pro recently which has 3840x2160 resolution.
Do you know how to change in Dom0 Windows, Texts and Icon sizes? Maybe existing some software for this options? Or it could be done in setings somwhere?

But what about Debian 9 template? How did you resolve this problem?
I even tried to change in Debian
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.desktop.interface.gschema.xml
"text-scaling-factor" and "scaling-factor"
and Re-compile the schemas:
glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
All this instructions from https://mike42.me/blog/2018-02-how-to-use-hidpi-displays-on-debian-9 did not helps too.
Maybe do you have any recommendations for Debian?

the doc I've linked to would be generic - ie. either you have gnome
settings daemon installed/running, or you don't.
Did you try to change the Xft.dpi X resource ?
If you find a solution for debian, please post it so that I can update
the doc (or if you're familiar with git/github, you could send a pull
request with changes to the doc !).
Cheers,

I have had similar experiences and used a tool called "gnome-tweak-tool" to correct the situation (https://www.militant.dk/2018/05/21/qubes-3-2-fedora-26-large-icons-and-large-fonts-on-lenovo-yoga-2-pro-high-resolution-laptop/)
But lately I think it has changed to "gnome-tweaks", so you can try that, if the first package is missing.

Yes, I tried it yesterday and it did not help. I even tried to install Nvidia driver tool (I don't know why :), maybe I believed in magic).

Actually, I cloned today new VM on Debian 9 and tried again with your Github guide and it works.
"
echo Xft.dpi: 144 | xrdb -merge
set in /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common
Xft.dpi: xxx
"
I don't know what was been the reason the first time, because I did the same things.
