Display is very small on Windows 11

[aks2161989]

So I just downloaded the Zipped version for Windows and the display is very small. Here is a screenshot

Is there a way I can change this?

For now, you can modify this kinda thing with the LITE_SCALE environmental variable, if it's out of whack for your system. Try LITE_SCALE=1. I think.

EDIT: Or maybe LITE_SCALE=2? Try a few values. Can't remember which way this is working atm; but should be fixed with the adoption of SDL3.

Thank you! So I created a file init.lua in the same directory as the application and set the env variable to different values. But nothing seems to change

So, init.lua in the same directory isn't a way you can modify lite's behavior.

Did you try just setting LITE_SCALE as an environment variable from the command line?

Oh thank you for the info! I am not sure how to set LITE_SCALE on the commandline. Should the command look like this? lite-xl.exe --LITE_SCALE=2

Can you try the release in https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/releases/tag/v2.1.8-rc3?

It adds some HiDPI support, though it would probably explode when switching between different DPI monitors.

That version seems to look the same on my end, even after using that env variable while launching it from the commandline.

very nice! it's ok

cmd==>

set LITE_SCALE=2

lite-xl

LITE_SCALE can have real (non-integer) values too. On my machine a value of 1,3 looks good to me.
