The attached files were not submitted as a full patch that solves the problem how to switch between non-hidpi and hidpi systems, but just pointing to the spots where the problematic gtk2 widgets can be multiplied in size.
If it is possible to have a switch in gtkrc, someone with gtk2 theming experience (design team?) would need to take a look. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-themes in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1355137 Title: gtk2 theme version improvements for high-dpi screens Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: GTK2 applications are still widespread and the lack of resolution independence poses significant usability problems, for example for clicking radio buttons or checkboxes. By editing the gtkrc file one can at least mitigate a majority of issues. By doubling dimensions (like widths, heights, not border- widths), the following controls can be made usable: radio buttons, checkboxes, scrollbars, expand/collapse triangles in trees. While this is nothing like complete high-dpi support, still a significant partial improvement can be achieved. Users of high-dpi screens should not have to suffer under the current default, or have to patch the theme manually. It would be good to implement a way that when the scaling factor is >= 2.0, as many GTK 2 widgets as possible are rendered with larger dimensions, be it by theme engine or by switching the theme.
