    Hi everybody,
    I'm a new user who has just installed Deepin on his 13.3 inc Zenbook laptop.
    Till now I'd confidently say my experience has been just perfect, if it wasn't for one little issue: I could find no way to activate some sort of HiDPI or scaled version of the UI, so I find really exhausting for my eyes. Is there any way to achieve this?
    Thank you

    you will have to change the resolution.

    I am currently using a macbook retina, and the resolution was like shit.

    I am currently trying to come up with a script for resolution scaling(I use deepin from usb on ibm thinkpads other than macintosh)


    !/bin/bash
    if grep -q MBP111 "/sys/firmware/dmi/tables/DMI"; then
        xrandr -s 1440x900
    fi

    but on boot there isn't xrandr, so...

    Currently Deepin doesn't support HiDPI. They are working on it. Currently the only hack is to lower the resolution as @laoguang suggested but you'll lose some visual detail quality.

    furthermore, apps like firfox may have different cursor size(smaller) even if you change the resolution.
