I just managed to install Davinci Resolve on my Linux box, but the UI fonts are so small that I can’t see almost anything. I tried using Gnome Display Scaling, made it 400%, but it didn’t help at all.

Any idea 🤔?

Thanks!

    You have to set these environment variables:

    • QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO=2
    • QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=true

    GUI instructions

    1. Install Alacarte and find the desktop entry for Resolve
    2. Change the command to
    env QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO=2 QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=true /opt/resolve/bin/resolve

    CLI instructions

    1. Create the local applications directory if it does not exist
    mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications/
    1. Copy the desktop entry to your home folder:
    cp /usr/share/applications/com.blackmagicdesign.resolve.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
    1. Open the local entry in a text editor, such as nvim
    nvim ~/.local/share/applications/com.blackmagicdesign.resolve.desktop
    1. Change the Exec= line to Exec=env QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO=2 QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=true /opt/resolve/bin/resolve
