DaVInci Resolve - extremely small font on PopOS! 22.04 Linux

I just managed to install Davinci Resolve on my Linux box, but the UI fonts are so small that I can't see almost anything. I tried using Gnome Display Scaling, made it 400%, but it didn't help at all.

Any idea 🤔?

Thanks!

You have to set these environment variables:

  • QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO=2
  • QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=true

You can do this either by the GUI or the terminal below.

GUI

  1. Install Alacarte and find the desktop entry for Resolve
  2. Change the command to
env QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO=2 QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=true /opt/resolve/bin/resolve

Terminal

  1. Create the local applications directory if it does not exist
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications/
  1. Copy the desktop entry to your home folder:
cp /usr/share/applications/com.blackmagicdesign.resolve.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
  1. Open the local entry in a text editor, such as nvim
nvim ~/.local/share/applications/com.blackmagicdesign.resolve.desktop
  1. Change the Exec= line to Exec=env QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO=2 QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=true /opt/resolve/bin/resolve
