'''Running Bisq on a HiDPI screen''' (2k, 4k, etc) with default settings often leads to small text.

This article covers how to fix this issue on Linux.

__TOC__

== Command-line fix ==

Adjust scaling with the following prefix.

JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-Dglass.gtk.uiScale=1.4 -XX:MaxRAM=4g" /opt/Bisq/Bisq

You can adjust the scaling factor as you wish, of course, and add any [[Command_line_options|runtime options for Bisq]] as well.

== GUI fix ==

To have this scaling apply automatically when running Bisq from a menu icon, you'll need to adjust the launcher files to run a script with the fix in it.

1. Create the script, say <code>/opt/Bisq/Bisq-runner.sh</code>.

#!/bin/bash
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-Dglass.gtk.uiScale=1.4 -XX:MaxRAM=4g" /opt/Bisq/Bisq

2. Make it executable.

chmod +x /opt/Bisq/Bisq-runner.sh

3. Update the launcher (<code>/opt/Bisq/Bisq.desktop</code> and/or <code>/usr/share/applications/Bisq.desktop</code>).

...
Exec=/opt/Bisq/Bisq-runner.sh
...
