That could be a problem with the HiDPI stuff in GNOME, i.e. it's detecting your monitor wrongly. This command, run as user, should set the window scaling factor to 1: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 1 or use dconf-editor or gnome-tweak-tool -> Windows -> "Window scaling". > Can anyone guess the problem with the Theme?
