someone know how to adjust the global scale of the krita user interface ? i bought a cintiq companion that kinda has a really high resolution 2560 x 1440 but the screen is only 13 inches so the krita ui looks really tiny on it , the only thing that i could adjust to scale was the toolbox icon sizes . In clip studio there is a setting where i can adjust it so it looks good, where is it in krita though ?

Settings/Configure Krita/General/Window/Enable HiDPI support

Since Qt 5.6, you can start Qt Programs with a custom scale factor.

For example, on a Linux shell:

env QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.3 krita

This works also on a command prompt in Windows:

C:\Program Files\Krita (x64)\bin>set QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.3 krita

Use values between 1 and 2, like 1.1, 1.5 etc.

However, on Windows, I don't know how to add this to the desktop shortcut.

It does work. Make sure you have the Windows display scaling setup correctly for your hardware.

i tried it now with display scale ,and while it does make the interface larger ,i think its best left off , as i find it a bit too pixely , its not quite as high-res clear and sharp as the scaling in clip studio. its kinda like taking a small photo and resizing it to big photo, i will use krita small

On Linux it's quite easy to edit a *.desktop file which starts a certain program on GUI.

These files lie in

/usr/share/applications

and / or

~/.local/share/applications

Default desktop file of Krita is:
/usr/share/applications/org.kde.krita.desktop

search for line:

Exec=krita %U

and change it to:

Exec=env QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.3 krita %U

(of course, use your own factor)

Scaling options in the System Settings, usually affect all programs,
but with a custom scale factor, you can scale one specific Qt program.

Mind you, the high dpi scaling mode with Qt isn't really suitable for production work, mainly due to some issues with scaling the canvas drawing.

I created this account just to have anwser (don't ask me to create new topic, this one is already good)
