If things are too small, (and I have a similar issue), use larger font's or other appearance tweaks to increase the size of the items, (icons, font's or window decorations). This has 2 effects, 1 is that the screen is running native resolution, (always better), and 2, the items, (fonts, icons, and window decorations), are made up of more pixels, so are actually easier to view.

Anyone who remembers the bad, old days will understand what I mean. We had poorly formed characters because there were not enough dots in the font's foot print.

Sorry but this is the most stupid excuse for not willing to stay on proven standards like xrandr. With 1920x1080 i need a looking glass to identify the letters and please do not tell me that to reduce to 1366x768 will reduce the dots.

And no I do not want to install the KDE-Monster to get variable fonts that changes something. And NO I do not want to browse 10.568 options to change some sizes.

Yes, we are accustomed to pain due to stoned kid coders but from day to day it is getting worse and one does not know why. Decreasing of IQ or planned destruction?
