Resetting DPI

Post by mkiwi »

How do I set the screen DPI back to 96?
.
I have looked at FAQ but the answer given is for computer literate users and means nothing to me.

How do you find thew Wine directory and delete it as suggested?

Could some one guide me through the steps please.

So far I have uninstalled Wine and re-installed 3 times but the large DPI persists and I need to reset it to 96 DPI some how.

This is understandable. The dpi setting is in your home folder and has
nothing to do with the wine installation.

Open a terminal (konsole, xterm ...)

rm -rf ~/.wine

Do not do that as root.

I guess this is something that people do. lol

THanks for having this problem before me so I could just search to be able to fix it fast.

I feel so silly, but it's better now.

And thanks for the answers.
