Pixel Doubling can make fonts more readable (larger) on a small screen with high resolution, however, there are drawbacks
- The Crowpi2 software refuses to run, complaining that The CrowPi2 software needs to run at 1920x1080 resolution!.
- Pixel Doubling affects the entire system. Enabling pixel doubling simply draws every pixel in the desktop as a 2×2 block of pixels on the screen, making everything exactly twice the size and resulting in a more usable desktop. But this will sacrifice screen quality.
- Will need more fiddling with other appearance settings to suit your own liking.
- Click on Menu (Raspberry icon).
- Select Preferences and choose Raspberry Pi Configuration.
- The Raspberry Pi Configuration window appears.
- On the Display tab, click on Pixel Doubling: ( ) Enable.
- Click OK and reboot the system.
Note: After reboot, the Crowpi2 software will refuse to run, and everything on the screen becomes very big. You will need to customize the appearance settings as shown below.You may want to experiment with different appearance settings to suit your own liking.
- Click on Menu (Raspberry icon).
- Select Preferences and choose Appearance Settings.
- The Appearance Settings window appears.
- On the Menu Bar tab, set Size: Medium (24x24).
