Yeah at the moment we're ignoring scaling info because they caused some (literally huge) issues on some systems.

You can specify a custom scale by setting the LITE_SCALE env var.

same issue with new build 2.1.6 on macbook air (m1). everything is very small. changing SCALE does not help - its scales not only fonts and icons, but all other UI also - spaces, line heights, ...

2.1.6 with SCALE=1

2.1.6 with SCALE=2

on 2.1.5 with default SCALE=1 UI is fine

another issue with 2.1.6 - is cursor - it is not wisible on some posittions - ex. after numbers

How are you setting SCALE?

Could you open another issue about this, with reproduction steps?

How are you setting SCALE?

add in init.lua

SCALE=2

Avoid doing that, use the LITE_SCALE env var.

possibly I'm doing smth wrong, but setting env doesn't change anathyng at all

~ % printenv
...
LITE_SCALE=2
....
~ % open -n /Applications/Lite\ XL.app

I'm not sure how macOS handles those.

Still, it should just scale correctly without any env var on macOS.
Investigating.

Fixed for me on macOS with #1969 - no additional env var needed. Thanks.
