Greetings everyone,
Linux noob and brand spanking new Siduction LXQt user here (so please be gentle) ;)
- I accidentally removed the settings/configuration panel widget from the Task Manager panel and I'm unable to bring it back since it doesn't appear in the list of possible widgets to add. Any suggestions?
- I'm looking for an easy way to globally adjust zoom/font sizes when using a 4K (3840x2160) monitor. Changing font point size in the LXQt Appearance Configuration menu does not affect fonts everywhere. Several things remain hard to read (and having postponed a visit to the optician for too long is only one half of the explanation).
EDIT: I found this post which led me on the right track to solve this issue: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1135874/how-to-change-display-scaling-settings-in-lubuntu
I noticed later that I was able to set the global screen scaling/scale factor in LXQt Session Settings (Basic Settings). I set that to 1,50. That fixed most problems. In Environment (advanced) I also added the variable GDK_DPI_SCALE and set that to 1.5 which improved things further.
In LXQt Appearance Configuration->Font I changed the point size to 11.
In Desktop Preferences I changed the Icon size to 64 x 64.
These settings are currently working pretty god for me. The only thing that's still small/narrow is the top panel on open windows.
The above might also serve as input for future improvements and I hope it's OK to post it here.
Hi there - and welcome!
Re 1.:
a) If you just removed the settings icon: Drag it from the main menu to the area where it says "Drop application icons here"
b) If you removed the whole quick launch widget: Right click the panel -> Manage Widgets -> Plus sign on the right -> Search for "quick launch" -> Click Add widget -> Then do as written above in in a).
Re 2.:
Main Menu -> Preferences -> LXQt Settings -> Session Settings -> Change the value at Global Screen Scaling -> Re-login
You maybe want to undo any other font changes you did earlier.
Cheers!
