Separate scaling individual apps

Post by roxyschram »

So I have 7 apps installed that use Wine and all but one is great at the currently set scaling DPI (144). One app loads super large large but when I set the DPI down to default it loads perfectly and the others are tiny.

Is there a way to load the app using an argument with the command when I launch it? Example, "wine64 someapp.exe" would be "wine64 --dpi=96 someapp.exe"

Yes, this can be done in winecfg:
Wine can mimic different Windows versions for each application. This tab is
linked to the Libraries and Graphics tabs to allow you to change system-wide
or per-application settings in those tabs as well.
Applications → Add application → browse to the program that needs the 96 dpi setting
With that program selected, click the graphics tab and change the dpi.

I've tried that previously and tried again. It's not working. Changing the DPI even when I have the app selected changes it globally, not just the app.

You're right. Although according to the documentation it should work. The other options on the Graphics tab also seem to have no effect when set on a per-program basis.
