The new implementation does work for updating the settings; however, it's glitchy.
What I mean by that is when one has the settings set for 200% scaling, reboots the VM and then logs back in (at least in VMWare -- haven't tested elsewhere) the scaling for text is at 100%; however, icons appear to be scaled. In order to get the whole desktop experience working correctly the following sequence needs to be followed: 1. set scaling for the display to 100%. click apply. Click keep settings. 1.a. Repeat #1 because you need to do it with more feeling. 2. set the desktop to 200%. 2.a. Repeat #2 because, once again, more feeling is required to get the setting to stick than the initial click of 'keep settings'. 3. Close and re-open any applications that utilize the DPI scaling functionality. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1709667 Title: Missing desktop scaling slider in system settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1709667/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
