How to disable the Qt automatic HiDPI scaling?

2017-08-08 Thread Frederic Muller
Hi! I run GNOME on a 2560x1440 resolution display where I disabled the "double scaling" (not sure how it's called). So one pixel is one dot. Unfortunately when running Qt applications such as VLC for example they autoscale to 1 dot for 4 pixels making those huge and taking most of my display area.
