Hello there. I use 14.04 on my HTPC as a Netflix (Chrome) and XBMC system (which works exceptionally well might I add). Due to it being a home theatre system, I ramp up the display scaling quite a lot (2.0). I noticed the HUD did not compliment display scaling, as mentioned in the bug report above. To date, this system has only been a regular, vanilla 14.04 instance with whatever updates that come down the main pipe.
After finding this bug report, I enabled -proposed and did a full apt- get update and apt-get dist-upgrade. I pulled down Unity 7.2.3. Not only does the HUD now compliment the display scaling, but my mouse cursor is also adequately sized as well. Upon initial use, I have found no regressions or issues to report, however I admit I've only been booted into the system for a few moments following the update to 7.2.3. Given the HTPC gets a decent amount of use as we have no cable TV, I'll bookmark this report and comment if I run in to anything else. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and time. It's appreciated by us users! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1340477 Title: The HUD doesn't support scaling on HiDPI monitors Status in Unity: Fix Committed Status in Unity 7.2 series: In Progress Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “unity” source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] The HUD is not scaled on HiDPI monitors [Test case] 1. From Unity Control Center -> Displays -> Change the monitor scaling to somewhat different from 1.0 (might be both bigger and smaller, your choice). 2. Open the Hud 3. Both the view, the text and the search results should be properly scaled to match current monitor scaling factor [Regression potential] Very low, but the hud might have visual issues (nothing found so far) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1340477/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
