Aven on hiDPI screens

[Andrew Brooks]

Some notes I made may help?

Set some env vars
  QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=2
  XCURSOR_SIZE=48
Then for non-qt applications
echo "Xft.dpi: 192" > ~/.Xresources

SublimeText preferences (was "dpi_scale": 2.0) now "ui_scale": 2.5

in LUbuntu with the LXQT window manager (Lubuntu Session) open
Preferences, LXQt settings, Session Settings, Environment (Advanced)

For KDE you add env vars to .config/plasma-workspace/env/my_file.sh
