For anyone using #Scrivener on #Linux via #Lutris (ie, #Wine), the recent upgrade to 0.5.22 *broke* your installation.

I have learned of a fix for the DPI problem, which is one of the three issues.

DPI is now stuck at 96, which is unreadable on a modern monitor.

To fix this:
- go to Wine options in the left-hand menu
- toggled "Advanced"
- scroll down to "DPI"
- toggle "Enable DPI Scaling"
- set DPI to 240 (or whatever)

The remaining issues are:

- the path to Documents is all messed up
- there's a hideous blue Windows menu bar at the top (shudder)

#FOSS #FLOSS #OpenSource #Linux #Debian #Gnome #Lutris #Wine #Scrivener

Related: I switched the DPI to 240, and *damn* Scrivener is more pleasant to work on now!

I know this partly because my eye sight is not what it used to be, but it is evidently a *lot* of why I've found Scriv vaguely annoying since switching to Linux.

I can see it clearly for the first time in a year and a half.

Ha-fuckin-zza

@OrionKidder heya! Just wanted to say thanks so much for this toot. I hit this issue when setting up Scrivener for a client's Linux laptop. The only Windows specific app they wanted was Scriv and I could not figure it out. Found your thread via a DDG search.

Just wanted to say cheers 

@techcare That is so so gratifying to hear. I'm so happy to have helped. This is how Linux works!
@OrionKidder I suspect (#)writing and/or (#)WritingCommunity might be good hashtags to add to this post, so it'd be more discoverable by the people who need it the most.
