Examples
- run_scaled xterm -ls
Starts the command "xterm -ls", with the default scaling of 2.
The xterm window will be twice as big as it normally would be.- run_scaled --scale=250% firefox
Start firefox, upscaled by 250%.
- run_scaled --speaker=off --microphone=off -- wine notepad.exe
Starts the command "wine notepad.exe", with audio inputs and outputs disabled (by additional Xpra arguments) and the default scaling of 2.
Options
- --scale=VALUE
The scaling factor to apply, specified as:
- number
ie: 2, 1.5
- fraction
ie: 3/2
- percentage
ie: 250%
If unspecified, the default value is 2.
Limitations
The scaling value is limited to the range 0.1 to 10, and even within that range, values lower than 1 may not work correctly with large displays.
