Match resolution to client so there’s no scaling

Hi,

Great application ! I’m using latest ThinkLinc to share Ubuntu desktop to Apple Mac.

The resolution is @ 1440p and get’s scaled up which results in minor blurring. I can live with it but it would be nice to set the server to send at 2880x1800 which is the current macOS resolution. How can I do this ?

Hi @MZF,

Thanks for the feedback, glad to hear you’re enjoying ThinLinc.

I think what you’re experiencing is due to lack of high DPI support, which isn’t currently available in the ThinLinc client. See:

The good news is that we’re in the process of upgrading the toolkit used by the client, which should provide support for high DPI (among other things).

@CendioOssman @samuel does this sound about right?

I’m afraid the current plans are only for improving the look of the client interface on high DPI monitors. It will not change anything about the look of the remote session. That is unfortunately a much more complex beast, aggravated by the fragmented support on the Linux platform.
