Too big fonts in Viber?

[dizmoduck]

The new version of Viber 6.5.5 has a problem it has very big font in it's windows

Is it possibly you get smaller font size in only one windows?

I'm running Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.1

Install sqliteman or any other SQlite database manager, open your ~/.ViberPC/config.db file, then open "commonsettings" table and set "ScalingRatio" parameter to 0.5 instead of 1.

Thanks mate

amazes me why the developers of Viber only have a scale that is from 100 to 200%

Seems like there is no ScallingRatio parameter or I don't know how to find it, or db file is located somewhere else
After this command didn't work

Code: Select all

$ sqlite3 ~/.ViberPC/config.db -interactive 'update CommonSettings set Value = 0.6 where Title = "ScalingRatio"'

I encountered slightly different problem - for me, font was too small. I used QT_SCALE_FACTOR option to increase it. Try this:
1. Open viber desktop file with your favourite editor:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /usr/share/applications/viber.desktop

2. Change

Code: Select all

 Exec=/opt/viber/Viber %u

to

Code: Select all

Exec=bash -c "QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.5 /opt/viber/Viber" %u

Works on the new viber although some modification I set the QT_SCALE_FACTOR=0.5

Thanks @zahardoc

viber is no longer supported in linux. that said it will break playonlinux and appimagelauncher. i haver replaced viber with telegram cause it's cross platform: windows, linux, AND android.

This worked for me! Viber version 10.3.0 on Linux Mint 18.2.

Thanks a lot!
