DPI & scaling

YTMDesktop2 enables Chromium high-DPI support so the app tracks OS display scaling on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Toolbar, settings, and tray view stay crisp at the OS scale.

OS display scaling

Leave Windows / macOS / Linux display scale at your preferred value (100%, 125%, 150%, 200%, …). The app follows it for chrome and popups. No extra app setting is required for DPI.

If the UI looks blurry or tiny:

• Confirm OS scaling for that monitor.
• Avoid forcing software rendering — leave Disable Hardware Acceleration off unless you are debugging GPU issues (Settings → app options).

YouTube Music zoom

Separately from OS DPI, you can scale only the embedded YouTube Music view:

1. Open Settings → Appearance → Display.
2. Set YouTube zoom from 80% to 150% (5% steps).
3. Changes apply live. Toolbar and other chrome stay at 100% (still OS-scaled).

See Display for the short zoom-only guide.
