Resize Ghidra for High DPI screens

If you run Ghidra on a high DPI screen, you will probably find the GUI to be scaled down so small to be almost of no use.

There is a setting that you can adjust to scale the Ghidra GUI:

in $GHIDRA_ROOT/support is a file named launch.properties. In this launch.properties file is the following configuration key:

VMARGS_LINUX=-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=1

Change this line to:

VMARGS_LINUX=-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2

Then launch ghidra and you should be good to go!

I'm using Ghidra 11.3, my system is Fedora 41 KDE Plasma 6.3. Why fractional scaling is not working in my system? I try 1.1, 1.25, 1.5, and 1.9 it not scaling Scale to 2 is too big for me Please help..

I did not test myself but have you tried switching from Wayland to X11, or from X11 to Wayland and see if changes anything? once again, I don't have KDE so I have not tested anything, it's nothing more but a guess

I think Fedora 41 abandoned x11, it's not worthed installing x11 in fedora only for testing it. i afraid there is will be broken package

thanks !
