I’d think in Krita 6.0 with the move to native wayland support, i thought the issue of krita not scaling properly would be fixed. However it’s still always too small, and the fractional scaling menu is always grayed out. Yes I know QT_SCALE_FACTOR exists, but telling users to pass an env varaible t…

You may need to run Krita with the environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland. Help->System Information for Bug Reports should show Qt Platform name as “wayland”.

I do that, and i can confirm it runs on wayland by the fact that i can’t select it with xprop. Could it maybe be that the actual scaling is smaller than it should be? I increased my scaling to 150%, and it does get bigger, but not big enough to match the scaling. Here is the menubar compared to ot…

There is ui font sizing in settings->configue krita->general->window->custom font You can change the font size there of the ui.

font scaling is not a solution, it just makes the font bigger. Icons and menus will still be too small. I’m looking to fix the core of the issue here, not find workarounds for myself, cus I can just pass an env variable.

I understand, but do understand that some things can look visually bigger or smaller due to other elements, for example, taking your picture, I took the File from Kate and dragged it, to Krita and as you can see the font height is the same. I also took the mdi tab and it is also same height. The onl…

The text size might be close, but the buttons are tiny in comparasion, which really matters when you’re trying to hit these with a pen or finger. [image] [image] [image] [image] Would increasing the padding on some things (In line with other KDE apps) or making a manual scaling option be …

The buttons are same size. [image] But yes, the file has about 2 pixels more height padding and around 6 pixels width padding [image]

With this script of @AkiR that I link below, you can adjust the icons pixel wise: [image] Toolbar is too small, please help Basics & Interface And here is a better adjusted version of the script. from krita import Krita from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt, QSize from …

This script does not work in krita 6.0, as it relies on QT 5

That is sad. Sorry. :cry: Michelist

Why is scaling still an issue on Linux?
