Description Paul Menzel 2018-08-20 18:42:42 CEST
With Xfce 4.13, despite setting window scaling to *2x* the notifications (for example from Mozilla Thunderbird) are not scaled.
Comment 1 Andre Miranda editbugs 2018-08-23 03:56:44 CEST
I cannot reproduce here with the following commands:

pkill xfce4-notifyd
GDK_SCALE=1 /usr/lib/xfce4/notifyd/xfce4-notifyd &
notify-send foo
#ok, notification looks normal
pkill xfce4-notifyd
GDK_SCALE=2 /usr/lib/xfce4/notifyd/xfce4-notifyd &
notify-send foo
#ok, notification looks scaled

Please make sure you have the latest version (0.4.2) of xfce4-notifyd running /usr/lib/xfce4/notifyd/xfce4-notifyd -V.

Moving to the correct product.
Comment 2 Paul Menzel 2018-08-23 10:50:32 CEST
Hmm, xfce4-notifyd doesn’t run here.

`ps aux | grep notify` only shows the line below.

    /usr/lib/xfce4/panel/wrapper-2.0 /usr/lib/xfce4/panel/plugins/libsystray.so 6 27262983 systray Notification Area Area where notification icons appear
    /usr/lib/notification-daemon/notification-daemon
Comment 3 Andre Miranda editbugs 2018-08-23 14:07:02 CEST
I think that is gnome's notification daemon.
Please try to replace it with xfce4-notifyd.
Comment 4 Paul Menzel 2018-08-28 12:41:21 CEST
There is notification-daemon 0.7.1 installed, while 3.20.0 seems the current release, which probably would work too. But, following your suggestion, using xfce4-notify 0.4.2, the notifications are properly scaled now.
