I have a 4k display, and the Linux (at least?) client is practically unusable.
Is HiDPI support on the roadmap?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Add --force-device-scale-factor=1.5 (or whatever fits your UI scale) as a command line option.
You could edit /usr/share/applications/spotify.desktop or wherever the .desktop file is located and change the line with Exec= to:
Exec=spotify --force-device-scale-factor=1.5 %U
Problem solved.
I made a Alias in my .bashrc
alias spotify="/usr/bin/spotify --force-device-scale-factor=1.5"
This works on Ubuntu 16.04
Hi,
could you explain what "practically unusable" means?
There is a linux beta version around since 2 weeks or so (only 64bit) did you try that yet?

There are zoom in/out options, but right now they don't save so you would have to adjust every time you launch
On HIDPI display its barely usable, because everything is so small.
Linux isn't very good yet in this regard, as it could just upscale by default, but doesn't.
Where is this zoom in / out option located? I have a hard time reading the menus.
There is no zoom in / zoom out. I hope they improve high DPI support soon. At this rate we'll be able to zoom individual windows on Wayland first.

That doesn't work for me.
It works with the beta :)
Thank you!
It should be automatically. Or at least have a GUI option to set the scaling factor.
