What is the problem? AFAIK a friend of mine has been using an X-based setup (IIRC with FVWM) in his 4K laptop for years and when i asked him he told me the only thing he had to do was to use ImageMagick to scale at 2x the images his theme used.

I set it to 2x, which was too big.

Then I brought it down with some xrandr setting... the size is right but a bunch of other things are incorrect.

I wish it were one incremental setting like it is in MacOS? Very easy to use; very easy to adjust for each monitor.
