Trying to use recoll on my HiDPI display is kinda annoying. Compare the attached screenshot.

This can be solved easily using Qt5 instead of Qt4. Any thoughts on this upgrade?

This is not a qt issue: the menus and buttons are normal. You just need to adjust the result list font: Preferences- >GUI Configuration- >Result list- >Result list font

The buttons are not normal. Only the normally rendered text is properly scaled due to my Xft.dpi setting. Everything else is way to small. Look for example at the checkboxes. However, I just figured that it is possible to build recoll using Qt5, which makes everything look way better. Again, compare the attached screenshot. Still not sure why the package maintainer chose to build against Qt4.

I agree, that’s better..

The packages stayed with qt4 just because it’s easier to have the same package files for all system releases, and there were issues with earlier qt5 versions.

The future packages will be moved to qt5 whenever possible.
