Hello!

I have Lenovo ThinkPad L380 with Manjaro Linux with Xfce DE.
After first login, the UI elemens is too small.
I upgrade software to latest versions.
After system restart i go to Appreance settings and change "Window scaling" option to value "2x", but UI has become too large.
How about making possible values from 1 to 2 with step 0.1 (1, 1.1, 1.2 ... 2) for more flexible setting?

Thanks.

Fractional scaling is not possible, the value must be an integer.

If you want fractional scaling, I'd suggest using GNOME Shell on Wayland (and even in GNOME Shell, this is an experimental feature).

Alternatively, you *could* achieve the same as fractional scaling on Xorg by using XRandR scaling, that's roughly the same logic that mutter/gnome-shell does in Wayland.

The idea is that the clients render at an integer scale (that remains), but then the entire output is scaled down by a fractional value (e.g. "xrandr --output eDP1 --scale 1.5x1.5").

But that will be quite slow, and has a somehow limited scope IMHO, but maybe that's something we could add to the display settings instead.
