Resurrecting this somewhat. The solutions suggested above are fine if you only have one monitor, but immediately cause issues if you have more than one (and they're not similar in size and resolution). Here, on two out of my three screens, everything is exactly as I want. The third one is a littl

It's probably best not to implement fractional scaling below 100% because it would have the same performance problems as Xorg fractional scaling already does. Instead I recommend: 1. Shrink your text, for example: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 0.75 2. Shrin

Ironically this is how Xorg fractional scaling already works. So it's definitely possible but we have no GUI to configure it. You can in theory configure it yourself using something like: xrandr --output OUTPUT --scale ... ** Tags added: xrandr-scaling ** Package changed: gnome-shell (Ubuntu

I also think this is needed. I'm on focal fossa and everything is so big. I'd imagine it's good on WQHD and above screens but it sucks on my screen which is Fulll HD. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchp

Display scaling below 100% is very much required to run on lower resolution displays. Text scaling is not enough for that. The ubuntu dock and window borders appear chunky on 1366 X 768. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubun

It is mostly possible in 17.10 already, except there is no nice GUI for the setting and icons in the dock and headerbars will refuse to scale down. Try: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 0.85 So the setting exists. We just lack a GUI for it in gnome-control- center.
