Where do you change the UI scale?   How did you find it or is part of overall configuration items?

Using sudo, edit:

/usr/share/phosh/phoc.ini

and change the top value from 2 to 1.5 then run:

sudo systemctl restart phosh

to view the changes. I personally found the scaling to be sufficient at 2.

The scaling help with desktop app. like chromium where the UI is too smooshed and some of the buttons are missing.
