SYNOPSIS
run_scaled [--scale=VALUE] application [application-arguments]
run_scaled [--scale=VALUE] [xpra-arguments] -- application [application-arguments]
DESCRIPTION
run_scaled uses xpra(1) to show any X11 application with arbitrary scaling applied.
EXAMPLES
- run_scaled xterm -ls
- Starts the command "xterm -ls", with the default scaling
of 2.
The xterm window will be twice as big as it normally would be. - run_scaled --scale=250% firefox
- Start firefox, upscaled by 250%.
- run_scaled --speaker=off --microphone=off -- wine notepad.exe
- Starts the command "wine notepad.exe", with audio inputs and outputs disabled (by additional Xpra arguments) and the default scaling of 2.
OPTIONS
- --scale=VALUE
- The scaling factor to apply, specified as:
- number
- ie: 2, 1.5
- fraction
- ie: 3/2
- percentage
- ie: 250%
If unspecified, the default value is 2.
LIMITATIONS
The scaling value is limited to the range 0.1 to 10, and even within that range, values lower than 1 may not work correctly with large displays.
