great tool, I like it. However at my Linux Mint machine with a 4k display it is scaling badly.

#261To scale is like a fish I do not eat.
Are you opening in fullscreen or something? What do you expect with 4k...
It is independent of fullscreen or not.
I'm using it at a Linux mint 17.3 with Cinnamon desktop and a HiDPI monitor. The text and symbols from Encryptr are half the size than for other software, making it hart to read. At my desktop with the same configuration, but a non HiDPI monitor, everything looks normal.
Since the project is written in mostly HTML and JS, have you noticed any suspicious font-size parameters?
This is a real problem. I appreciate the skepticism, but if you don't have experience running Linux in a high DPI environment, you should trust those of us reporting issues here.
Xrandr, GTK, QT ... these all have their own ways to affect scaling. It's also not just about fonts. Fonts can usually be scaled, but getting menus and images and everything right takes more work.
It's a combination of understanding what the rendering engine supports and how it detects the environment. For a while, this was an issue with Chrome (WebKit/Blink) even when the desktop was properly set.
"Me too" and "check your fitness
Errr... sent too soon...
... "Me too" and "check your fonts" are both unhelpful at this point.
Someone just needs to sit down and sort through it and figure out what has to be changed. My guess is just a dependency upgrade.
If it's helpful, I can provide links for Xrandr, GTK, and QT settings so you can see the various hints the desktop environment might provide.
I can also link to issues from Gecko and Chromium.
I've carefully tracked HiDPI support for a number of projects since I got my current machine two years ago. I'm sure I can dig up links with little effort if it will help.
Also, Atom only recently solved this, too, after Chrome fixed it.
Running on Windows 10 on a 4K display - the SpideOak windows is has really tiny font no matter what the system settings are. Every other program is fine :).
This seems to be fixed in NW.js 0.16 for Linux:
nwjs/nw.js#5165
Any new on this? I'm using ubuntu gnome on my macbook retina and it would be great to be able to apply some scaling
Same here using Win 10 on a Dell XPS. Fonts are ridicusly little on SpiderOak v. 6.1.9.
I just installed the newer version of spideroak one and this is happening too.
Same here. As HiDPI and 4k screens are becoming commonplace now this is something SpiderOak needs to prioritize and fix quickly. At a minimum, add a font-size preference to Preferences.
Yep, I'm on an XPS 13 9380 and having the same issue. I've seen this elsewhere with Electron apps like Spotify, which respond to control + to scale up the font size. The SpiderOak client doesn't present an obvious way to scale up the font.
I have the same issue in SpiderOakONE.
The font is super small on a HiDPI screen.
i am also affected, running 20.04 Ubuntu
So in 2022, 6 years after this thread started I installed a evaluation version of spideroak on a Windows 10 Computer with a 4K screen and I just can't read what is on my screen. Seems to be a very short evaluation.
yes, i am planning to wait further 6 years, may be then we can us it...
I decided to stick to my CRT 15" monitor while I wait so I can use it.
Who needs HD anyway?
August 2022, and this is still happening on an XPS13 9320 with a 3840x2400 screen resolutino running Ubuntu 22.04.
I was just able to get SpiderOakONE scaled for my 4k screen on Ubuntu 22.10 using run_scaled. I found the method described on askubuntu.
After installing the dependencies, I copied run_scaled into my path. Created a new shell script, SpiderOakONE_scaled with the following contents:
#! /bin/sh
run_scaled SpiderOakONE
Then, I used alacarte to update the SpiderOakONE shortcut to run SpiderOakONE_scaled. I also updated this in Startup Applications.
Now, I can finally read the settings!

After:
February 2023 and same problem on Dell XPS13 with Pop!_OS.
SpiderOak support offer workaround advice for Windows: https://spideroak.support/hc/en-us/articles/115002046966-One-or-Groups-Appears-Very-Small-on-High-Resolution-Monitors.
Linux will have to wait: "Sorry, but we do not have a workaround for Linux. ONE is currently being updated from Python2 to Python3 which should resolve this issue, but I don't have an ETA for the release."
Tried the run_scaled method above but the process is just a bit too complicated for me and I could not set it up to run reliably without undesirable side effects.
