On a high DPI display, Pd's windows, fonts, menus, etc. are stupidly small.

"It's a Tcl/Tk problem" but I just wonder if anyone on this forum found a solution for Pd?

Thanks,

@ddw_music Well you can change the font for the patch........ change font.pd ... but it doesn't help for the console or menus.

You can also set the same for your Pd in the preferences with a startup flag...... -font-size x

Pd boxes (messages, objects) are scaled to the font but arrays and graphics are not.
And it will likely make a mess when sharing too.
There was a discussion about setting the DPI for the OS I think, and then excluding all other programs but that is probably not satisfactory either.
Of course someone might have a better solution since the last time this was asked.
Discussion found so far...... https://lists.iem.at/hyperkitty/list/pd-list@lists.iem.at/message/D7Y2HW3X3IMYEAF2N7DY5GR2T3G2A6RQ/

I have noticed that sizes are sometimes different in different releases for windows so it could be worth delving deeper.

P.S. just playing around with pdwindow.tcl....... I am sure it can be taken further.......

I should also have said that I'm on Linux (Ubuntu Studio 24.04 [will upgrade over the summer probably], with the XFCE desktop).

Tcl/Tk, I suppose, will never catch up to the modern world.

When I need Pd, I mostly use plugdata anyway (I disagree with Pd's remaining tied to an outdated graphics library, so this is me "voting with my feet"). That's fine with me actually, though Gem doesn't run smoothly in plugdata. So it's not a big deal for me, but, nags at me a bit that one venerable tool can't be easily brought up to speed.
