For many years now, I used to set my screen pixel density to 90 pixels per
inch, instead of the default 75 ppi, in the "startxwin.bat" file. My
"startxwin.bat" used to be executed, then, at windows startup, to get a
full functional Cygwin-X environment (at 90 ppi, by the way). Here is the
commandline I did put in my "startxwin.bat" file:
[...] run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -dpi 90 [...] ^^^^^^^^
Then, I recently upgraded my Cygwin-X installation from 1.5.x to 1.7.x, and
now the "startxwin.bat" script disappeared, "replaced" by the
"startxwin.exe" binary. That did not trouble me much. Nevertheless, I'm not
able to set my screen pixel density anymore, or at least, I did not found
the way (config file, commandline argument, ...) to set it again.
I tried, as target of "XWin Server" shortcut: `run C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe
/usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- -dpi 90' ^^^^^^^^^^^ In
order "to specify particular server options, append a double dash (ââ) to
the startxwin command line (after any client and arguments) followed by the
desired server options.", as it is said in the `man 1 startxwin'.
Nevertheless, my option seems not to reach the server arguments, because,
the screen pixel density of my Cygwin-X session remains stuck to 75ppi (as
`xdpyinfo' reports).
