The text size in the Steam Client is too small and there is no configuration option to change it.

Hello,

I am using Debian 12 with Cinnamon and the Steam client has really small text display. By checking or unchecking the “Scale text per monitor settings” option, the text size remains too small. It could be useful to add a Display, text size option.

For information, my screen size is 2560x1440. Apparently this size is not well taken into account.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Start Steam Client

Thank you

Hello @pzim-devdata, this issue is already being tracked at #5460.

You should be able to workaround this issue by running Steam with steam -forcedesktopscaling 1.75 or STEAM_FORCE_DESKTOPUI_SCALING=1.75 steam (adjust the value as needed).

Closing in favor of the older issue report.
