Its already possible with -s
to set custom scale factor its just not exposed in xscreensaver menu
from gluqlo.
I got an error when I attempted to use the -s
flag:
Invalid option -- -s
When I use the --help
flag, there is no -s
option listed.
However, I do see there are -w
and -h
flags available for width and height. They don't seem to be working, though. Could you provide an example usage of these flags? I tried -w 0.5
(which would work if the expected value was a percent -- e.g., 0.5 = 50%), as well as -w 500
(which would work if the expected value was in pixels) and -w 500px
, but none of those worked.
from gluqlo.
./gluqlo -s 0.5
Works just fine for me with 50% scale, you sure you running master branch? Maybe you are running noflipqlo
? where no scale option exist and width and height option are broken
./gluqlo -w 100 -h 100
Will draw 100x100 pixel square
Usage: ./gluqlo [OPTION...]
Options:
-help Display this
-root, -f Fullscreen
-ampm Use 12-hour clock format (AM/PM)
-w Custom width
-h Custom height
-r Custom resolution in WxH format
-s Custom display scale factor
from gluqlo.
Maybe you are running noflipqlo
I don't believe so. The program is called "gluqlo." When I navigate to /usr/lib/xscreensaver, I can run the same command you do, but get an error:
./gluqlo -s 0.5
Invalid option -- -s
Try --help for more information.
When I use the "help" option, this is the output:
Usage: ./gluqlo [OPTION...]
Options:
-help Display this
-root, -f Fullscreen
-ampm Use 12-hour clock format (AM/PM)
-w Custom width
-h Custom height
-r Custom resolution in WxH format
you sure you running master branch?
I'm not sure how to check that. It's been a couple weeks, but as far as I remember, the way I installed gluqlo was with the commands under "Installing from PPA" on this page: https://github.com/alexanderk23/gluqlo (This is not correct; see next comment)
Given that the "help" printout is different, I suspect my version is different from yours. Is it easy to remove my copy and acquire yours?

I made a mistake in my previous comment. Following this page's suggestion, I can see from my browser history that I downloaded the following files files from this page:
gluqlo_1.1-1ubuntu2~xenial1.debian.tar.gz
gluqlo_1.1-1ubuntu2~xenial1_amd64.deb
However, I forget the steps that I followed to set everything up.
I forgot to point out, I am using Debian 9.1 Cinnamon 64-bit.

Sorry for so many comments. One more thing:
When I attempt to follow the instructions for adding from the ppa, I get an error on the first command:
~ $ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:alexanderk23/ppa

This might be related to me running Debian rather than Ubuntu.

@alexanderk23 is maintainer of these PPA, but I suggest just build from source and problem will be solved. As scaling was available for while.

You are correct: I downloaded the source from Github and followed the instructions in README.md, and it installed flawlessly. And now resizing works. Thank you!
