[SOLVED] Wine screen dpi disater

[SteveNorman]

So im screwing around with wine,,,and in configure>graphics I slide the slider all the way to the right to see if it will make a game window larger. Now I cant get the configure screen small enough to slide it back to the left. Is there a way to do it via the command line?

[schtufbox]

in your .wine folder you need to open system.reg file in a text editor like gedit ( MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A COPY OF THE FILE FIRST JUST IN CASE )
find the part below either by a search within the text editor or scrolling til you find it :

[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Hardware Profiles\\Current\\Software\\Fonts]

under that there should be a "LogPixels" entry, edit it so it is the same as below:

[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Hardware Profiles\\Current\\Software\\Fonts]
"LogPixels"=dword:00000060

You want to make sure that the log pixels entry is as above, this will reset wine to use 96dpi for fonts.
Then save and run winecfg to check it worked.

The "00000060" is actualy in hex - 0x60 = 96.

Im not seeing the file,,here is my ls -a results in wine

.wine

as in /home/yourusernamehere/.wine

it's a hidden folder so either show hidden files in nautilus, or do it in the terminal

gedit /home/yourusernamehere/.wine/system.reg
