Set QT scaling to 1.2 in Ubuntu (GNOME) - Reonu - 08-27-2018
Hi, I'm running Dolphin in Ubuntu. Previously I was running it on Kubuntu but I switched because KDE and the propietary NVIDIA drivers hate each other and everything was unstable. Anyways, with KDE I could set the scaling to 1.2 and all QT apps would react appropriately, including Dolphin. But GNOME doesn't support fractional display scaling, and I can't find a way to force Qt apps to scale to 1.2
So, how do I force Dolphin (and all QT apps in general if possible) to scale to 1.2? Thanks.

I figured it out. I switched to Ubuntu Budgie, but I assume it would be the same if I had stayed on regular Ubuntu.
I added this line to ~/.profile and now all QT apps launch in the desired scaling factor
export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1.25
