Description of problem: I installed Blender together with openshot and kdenlive and as I opened Blender I see that the gui has another resolution than the screen itself. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.79b How reproducible: All the time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install blender. 2. Open blender. 3. Text and buttons are much smaller in the gui in comparison to the screen resolution.
I'm using MATE as a DE. No Testing or Backport medias present.

Just installed it to try, Mate, screen resolution 1366 x 768. On first launch, everything is grey & gloomy with small writing. Explored: File-User Preferences-Interface-Display Scale initially 1; 1.3 made everything bigger! (Do *not* reduce it, it will become too small to see to re-set!). File-User Preferences-Interface-Themes allows to install something lighter. Does this answer your complaint?

Created attachment 11440 [details] Screenshot on plasma 3840x2160 Installed to try this Looking nice here on Plasma, nvidia-current, 3840x2160 But also, this screen is 43" large; Philips 436M6 Text in menus etc are smaller than in other programs but i think that is adequate. Screenshot is from left part of window in original laounch size, which in turn is less than a quarter of the screen area.

Sure, but shouldn't this be set a bit bigger as standard? It would help in the future.
(In reply to Kristoffer Grundström from comment #5) > Sure, but shouldn't this be set a bit bigger as standard? This sort of thing is difficult to judge, because so much depends on screen resolution & size. Pre-setting the scale to something other than 1 would be dicey. The important thing is that the application is usable. Morgan's screenshot is OK. Given that the font size can be increased so easily, and to one's taste, I think it is fair to close the bug. CC'ing for info DavidG who maintains this pkg. For a comment perhaps.

(In reply to Kristoffer Grundström from comment #5) > Sure, but shouldn't this be set a bit bigger as standard? I suggest to discuss that upstream. (And if so, for 2.80+) I believe design have been debated much there and a democratic (i suppose) agreement between many users there should not be overthrown by three less experienced people here. - It is a another thing if you can show the program being displayed substantially different on Mageia, than intended by upstream.
