Rif.: LabVIEW 2026Q1 Linux - Application DPI Size

[felipefoz]

I have recently installed LabVIEW 2026Q1 on Linux (Ubuntu 24.04), and I got this very small size of the LabVIEW.

However, I can´t figure out why. It looks like I have a 4k monitor, however it is just Full HD.

Anyone has experienced that or any idea how to solve it?

This is only the "welcome" window. It has always been small.

Hi

Yes, the panel itself is small, and the menu default font used by LabVIEW on Linux is small, so the combination gives a bad experience on higher dpi screen.

You can ( easily ) increase/change the font size, but it makes LabVIEW look ugly, so I cannot recommend it.

You mention your screen size is Full HD, which is 1920x1080. However, your screen is not Full HD, but instead 2275x1434 according to the screen dump image size. That of course makes the panel appear even smaller on that larger resolution screen size.

You can also change the screen resolution in Linux. Ubuntu supports a high-dpi concept too like Windows. Again, using it is not a great experience, so I cannot recommend that either.

Maybe you can reduce the actual screen resolution. Or use a low DPI screen, like 100..120 DPI.
