You can also set this parameter in XFCE preferences: xfce4-appearance-settings -> Fonts tab -> Own DPI-Value But AFAIK the dpi setting is only for fonts. If you also wanna have bigger window decorations then start xfwm4-settings and set Default-hdpi or Default-xhdpi as theme. AFAIK both themes are part of x11-themes/xfwm4-themes. If you wanna set the icon sizes (panel, menu, buttons, toolbar) for the gtk2-theme that you use, then edit the gtkrc file of this theme. Before you do this you should copy the complete theme directory into ~/.themes/ (if .themes doesn't exist then create it), then rename it and then edit the gtkrc file. Finally you can set this theme as your new theme. By example: cp -r /usr/share/themes/Xfce-basic/ ~/.themes/ mv ~/.themes/Xfce-basic ~/.themes/Xfce-basic_big-icons vi ~/.themes/Xfce-basic_big-icons/gtk-2.0/gtkrc I have a 140 DPI display and insert these two lines at top of my gtkrc: gtk-toolbar-icon-size = large-toolbar gtk-icon-sizes = "panel-menu=32,32:panel=32,32:gtk-button=24,24:gtk-large-toolbar=48,48:gtk-small-toolbar=32,32" To be honest, I forgot for what the first line is good for. It's some time ago that I did this and my memory isn't as reliable as it was 20 years ago. ;-) However some programs don't have a GUI that is ready yet for HiDPI displays. By example I have not found an option in Gimp to increase the size of its tiny toolbar icons. -- Regards wabe
