15### Problem
16
17I copied a profile from 4k resolution computer to a 2k one, now icons and text
18are huge. How to scale it back down? Don't see anything relevant-looking in the
2d9fe2be
SK
19settings; I looked for "scale", "zoom" and "size".

21### Solution
22
23In config editor, find property:
24
25 layout.css.devPixelsPerPx
26
27then change its value from 2.0 to 1.0.

31Make a fresh profile and examine `prefs.js` diff until something looks promising.
32
33 $ thunderbird # Looks bad. Close it.
34 $ mv ~/.thunderbird ~/.thunderbird.bak
35 $ thunderbird # Close it. Now we have a fresh profile.
36 $ vimdiff ~/.thunderbird/newxxx.default/prefs.js ~/.thunderbird.bak/oldxxx.default/prefs.js
37 # Examine every difference until something looks promising. Value 2.0
38 # looks like a zoom value and it is refering to some pixel-to-pixel
39 # ratio - looks promising!
40 $ rm -rf ~/.thunderbird
41 $ mv ~/.thunderbird.bak ~/.thunderbird
42 $ thunderbird
43 # Open config editor, look for devPixelsPerPx and change to 1.0.
44 # Looks good!
