I've been thinking about this - and we will implement it eventually - but I don't think the readability of Unity8 desktop should be the motivator. Rather, Unity8 desktop scaling should be solved with a configurable scale factor that just makes text (and widgets proportionally) larger without moving away from the screen's best native resolution.
That was always the plan anyway and Unity8 probably has a scaling feature buried inside already. We just need to find out the command (or better get a GUI) for configuring the scale. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1196239 Title: Add support for fake modes on laptop screens which only have one To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1196239/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
