login screen

Edit [dom0] /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf … specifically xft-dpi=192

red WIFI network icon

  • right click on the Panel
  • choose Panel | Panel Preferences …
  • select Items tab
  • select ‘Notification Area’ and use gear button to open properties
  • adjust ‘Maximum icon size’ (I use 44)

gsettings

  • requires gnome-settings-daemon to be installed in template and running in qube (check with sudo systemctl status and look for gsd-xsettings)
  • needs to be set in each qube

I recommend using templates without gnome-settings-daemon installed and Xft.dpi set in /etc/X11/Xresources' (Fedora) or /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common` (Debian). That way one doesn’t have to use gsettings or gnome-tweak in each and every qube. It also uses less memory and works with all apps.

For QT/KDE base apps I have found it useful to also add QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1 in /etc/environment (in the template obviously)
