Displays

Everything here is in Settings, under Displays. Changes wait in a bar at the bottom until you choose Apply.

Scaling

Luft picks a scale for each screen by itself, from its size and resolution, so text is about the same size everywhere:

Screen	Scale
13” and 14” laptops	150%
15” to 17” laptops	125%
Sharper laptop panels	167% to 225%
24” to 27” monitors	100%

Choose another scale under Scale, from the steps your screen supports. A scale you choose yourself is kept and never recalculated.

To make only text bigger, use Text size under Appearance.

Resolution and refresh rate

Each display has its resolution, refresh rate and orientation. Variable refresh rate, on displays that support it, can be on in games only or in every full-screen app.

Brightness

Sliders change the brightness of the built-in screen and of external monitors that support DDC/CI. Hold Shift with the brightness keys to change only the display you’re using.

Night Light

Night Light makes colours warmer in the evening, which is easier on the eyes. It follows sunset and sunrise, or times you choose, with a warmth slider.

Several displays

• Arrange displays by dragging them on the map, so the pointer moves between them where you expect.
• Mirror displays shows the same picture on all of them.
• Main display decides where the tray, status icons and new windows go.
• Super+P switches quickly between mirroring, joining, external only and built-in only, handy when plugging into a projector.

Each display gets its own taskbar, with Start, its apps and the clock, unless you choose otherwise in the taskbar’s options. Start, Quick settings and notifications open on the display the pointer is on.

Move a window to another display by dragging it, with Super+Shift+arrows, or with Move to Monitor in the window menu. Only the main display switches workspaces; windows on the others stay put. The board uses the main display.

The login screen and the boot splash use the same arrangement as your desktop.
