Screen Size - Screenshot please

I want to get a feeling how Renoise looks on different monitors with different scaling factors, etc.

Here’s screenshot of Renoise in full screen mode and scaling 100% on a 1920 x 1080 display with Full HD.

Especially I’m interesting how much space have on a 27" QWHD (2K) with different scaling factor. Pretty sure that with 100% this will be too small for me.

If possible please post the same view with spectrum analyzer closed and line 00 at the top.

Hi mate, 27 Inch, 2560 x 1440 (2k) at 150% scale factor - because my eyes are bad and I’m about 70cm from the screen. Hope that helps.

Thanks! How many lines do you see when you put the pattern on the top? This doesn’t seem to be an improvement compared to a 1920 x 1080 monitor when you sit closer to it.

Here it is with the pattern at the top. Overall, it’s less lines than you’re currently getting. I don’t know your setup, if I could tolerate 125% scaling I would as it makes more use of the screen real estate - however, even with glasses, any smaller and I get eye strain but that’s one, my age (41) and two my susceptibility to migraines and living with chronic pain - so I do what I can to minimise risk of pain. Hope that helps?

Edit: just tried at 125% and (a) I can’t see it well enough and (b) Windows UI integer scaling is shit, the text goes pretty blurry overall - I think you’re on Linux, so perhaps that handles UI Integer Scaling better?

I think scaling is even worse on Linux, especially on x11. This will improve in Wayland. I’m 48 (arggh!) and just got new classes for computer work. I think with 125% I will win a little bit real estate but that’s not a dramatic effect.

Ah, the X11 vs Wayland issues continue I see - Wayland always feels like it’s just around the corner to fixing everything lol. That said, I do keep looking at Linux but I’ve invested too much in proprietary VSTs and the thought of needing to use Wine and so on just puts me off. Hope you get what you want. I’d honestly look at 4K unless you’re also gaming and can’t run at 4K. Integer scaling is way easier, there are some decent deals on 32 inch 60Hz monitors and you would get a lot more real estate.

Ooh, nice theme! Which one is that or is it yours?

I think it’s this

it’s lovely to see how many people like @Osionik 's Cyberpunk1 - whenever I used it (it’s been ingested into the Paketti Theme Selector) for screenshots, animated gifs or video, people would ask what’s that snappy theme :slight_smile: Immediately noticed it on the screenshot and thought, here’s to another onslaught of people asking what is it and trying to find out where to get it from

seems 125% scaling has the same real estate compared to 1920x1080 Full HD, but it´s larger. Hmmm :confused: I think I will go for a 27" screen then as it´s more flexible. Everything larger is too large.

Yes!!! @Osionik makes awesome themes. I’m in love with Renoise in Cyberpunk but to show another great one here is Osi-BladeRunner theme :face_with_peeking_eye: And Osi-Terminator has such a strong feeling right now in dusk behind my window - you should try. I wish them to be included in new Renoise Release <3 @taktik Cyberpunk is great for promotion :sunglasses: 5120x2880 here with Auto user interface scaling & Retina HiDPI display support enabled. Thanks all for such a nice work and piece of art!

Edit: had to upload gif not to be scaled down

Thanks for the people who answered for me, I haven’t been able to get on my PC just yet so thats a help. Its an awesome skin, dark enough to minimise eye strain with bright enough UI elements to read well.

God I feel old lol…

Credits go to DBlue for DemoSong and Osi for theme - cyberpunk now:


Edit: without HiDPI checked it’s still perfect and awesome on Full HD too :purple_heart:

Another favourite themes (and tutorials on https://www.youtube.com/@MrZensphere/videos) are made by @slujr - here come his GOBY green daylight theme and brilliant retro feeling monochrome theme on FULL HD screen. Spectrum nicely filled by selected track’s color:


Cheers!
