## HiDPI
There is only partial HiDPI support but it works pretty well
#### Appearance settings
- Increase DPI from 96 to 192
- *(Optional)* Increase default font from Sans 8 to Sans 9
#### Replace xfwm4 theme with HiDPI version
Use HiDPI theme
mv ~/.themes/Chicago95/xfwm4 ~/.themes/Chicago95/xfwm4_lodpi
mv ~/.themes/Chicago95/xfwm4_hidpi ~/.themes/Chicago95/xfwm4
#### Replace configs with HiDPI version
Make GTK2 buttons bigger
sed -i 's/#include "button.rc"/include "button.rc"/' ~/.themes/Chicago95/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
Increase taskbar size
cp ~/.gtkrc-2.0 ~/.gtkrc-2.0.bak
cp Chicago95-master/Extras/hidpi/.gtkrc-2.0 ~/.gtkrc-2.0
#### Adjust settings for HiDPI
Make GTK icons bigger
xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Gtk/IconSizes -s "gtk-large-toolbar=32,32:gtk-small-toolbar=24,24:gtk-menu=32,32:gtk-dialog=88,88:gtk-button=32,32:gtk-dnd=32,32"
Increase icon size in Thunar File Manager
xfconf-query -c thunar -p /shortcuts-icon-size -s "THUNAR_ICON_SIZE_SMALL"
xfconf-query -c thunar -p /tree-icon-size -s "THUNAR_ICON_SIZE_SMALLER"
Increase icon size on desktop
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /desktop-icons/icon-size -s 64
#### Cursors
The cursors in the theme do not support HiDPI but [Hackneyed](https://www.gnome-look.org/p/999998/startdownload?file_id=1549578280&file_name=Hackneyed-48px-0.7.2-right-handed.tar.bz2&file_type=application/x-bzip2&file_size=49921) is a good alternative. Download and extract to `~/.icons` and select it in Mouse settings.
#### Panelbar tweaks
- Set panel row size to 48
- Application Menu: Check show button title and set it to 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 (copy+paste)
- Notification Area: Set maximum icon size to 32
- Indicator Plugin: Check square icons
- Status Notifier Plugin: Set maximum icon size to 32
- *(Optional)* Orage Panel Clock: Set width to 144 and font to Sans 9
