I’d imagine the news does mean we can expect to see additional work done to reduce the fuzziness and blurriness within the Cinnamon UI and many of Linux Mint’s core application set. Based on the terse conclusion to this bug report filed against Cinnamon, I’d say no! No word on whether/if fractional scaling (1.25, 1.5 etc) will be implemented. Those using Linux Mint on a device with a HiDPI display currently have to dive into the display settings to double UI scaling (200%).įrom the vague commitment to improve HiDPI in Cinnamon 3.6 on Linux Mint 18.3 it sounds like the distro will detect when scaling should be enabled and apply it automatically. Linux Mint is planning some big HiDPI improvements for its next major release.īig enough to see HiDPI enabled by default in Cinnamon 3.6.
