Ohhh, that's what it's for! I use it for scaling x11 apps with the run_scaled script that's shipped with xpra (:

I'm half-heartedly trying to RTFM of 'xpra', but haven't found the 'run_scaled' script yet. If it's not too much trouble, can you please reply with the commands you use to scale an X11 program?

(I'm on Devuan Daedalus 5.0, ~= Debian Bookworm 12.0.)

(I currently use 'xzoom' to scale X11 programs, but it's a little kludgy.)

EDIT: Single quotes for all program names. Bookworm, not Bookwork.

This is the old, original version by me. xpra itself ships nowadays an improved version.

Xpra itself ships this script, but Debian’s version is quite old. You need at least 4.1 and Debian Bookworm seems to have 3.1. Xpra seems to have an own apt repo you can probably use.
