Dock does not scale itself correctly when moved to a monitor with different DPI
I'm using the master branch. I have 2 monitors: My primary one is a 3200x1800 one and Gnome scales everything to 2x there. My secondary one is a 1920x1200 and Gnome uses 1x scale there. However, if I move the dock there, it is still displayed at a 2x scale, instead of 1x.
To make this easier to grasp, I have attached 2 screenshots, with the dock and the settings window side-by-side. The settings window is scaled correctly, according to the DPI of the monitor. The dock is not.
Normal DPI monitor (secondary):
HiDPI monitor (primary):
I didn't know it were possible to have independent scale factors on different monitors. Is this under Wayland?
Yes, it's only under Wayland. See here for more info: https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/HiDpi
Thanks for the link. To understand better the origin of the issue: is the default dash (extension disabled) shown with the right size (in X/Wayland), and on both monitors?
To be honest, I don't know if that's possible. I can't seem to find a way to move the dash to another monitor without using your extension.
You need to set the external monitor as primary in the display settings, so the whole overview moves there. That should work.
Right, that worked! The dash is displayed correctly at 1x scale when the low DPI monitor is the primary. If I use dash to dock to move it to the high DPI monitor then it's still at 1x scale, instead of 2x. That's under Wayland.
Same thing on X.
@micheleg Any news on this? Under Wayland with a mixed dpi setup (laptop + external monitor) this extension can sadly be used on the primary monitor.
Hey! Is there any progress on the multi-dpi support? Btw thanks for the extension!
This still seems to be be in issue 6 years later, on Fedora 37 with Gnome 43 ? Any plans to fix this? Would be great, looks funny with double size icons ( 1 4k screen builtin, 2 external FHD screens, Wayland). Thank you
