1 | Moving profile |
| 2 | -------------- | |

| 5 | ||
| 6 | Starting from CLI allows more options, see: | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | thunderbird --help | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | After copying the profile from another computer, start with the profile manager | |
| 11 | and select the desired profile, after which normal starts will use it: | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | thunderbird --ProfileManager | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | ### Problem | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | I copied a profile from 4k resolution computer to a 2k one, now icons and text | |
| 18 | are huge. How to scale it back down? Don't see anything relevant-looking in the | |
| 2d9fe2be SK |
19 | settings; I looked for "scale", "zoom" and "size". |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | ### Solution | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | In config editor, find property: | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | layout.css.devPixelsPerPx | |
| 26 | ||

27 | then change its value from 2.0 to 1.0, |
| 28 | or to -1.0 (which means match current X11 settings). | |

| 32 | Make a fresh profile and examine `prefs.js` diff until something looks promising. | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | $ thunderbird # Looks bad. Close it. | |
| 35 | $ mv ~/.thunderbird ~/.thunderbird.bak | |
| 36 | $ thunderbird # Close it. Now we have a fresh profile. | |
| 37 | $ vimdiff ~/.thunderbird/newxxx.default/prefs.js ~/.thunderbird.bak/oldxxx.default/prefs.js | |
| 38 | # Examine every difference until something looks promising. Value 2.0 | |
| 39 | # looks like a zoom value and it is refering to some pixel-to-pixel | |
| 40 | # ratio - looks promising! | |
| 41 | $ rm -rf ~/.thunderbird | |
| 42 | $ mv ~/.thunderbird.bak ~/.thunderbird | |
| 43 | $ thunderbird | |
| 44 | # Open config editor, look for devPixelsPerPx and change to 1.0. | |
| 45 | # Looks good! |
