Description Jason Etherton 2016-03-21 13:09:50 UTC 
The HiDPI setting doid not work from the tweak tool.  My colleague (Javier Jardón) executed this function on the command line:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2

gnome-desktop3 = 3.18.2
tweak = 3.18.1
Comment 1 Dylan McCall 2017-07-19 19:15:38 UTC 
I think this bug is a duplicate of #741735. The issue here is that the "Window scaling" setting modifies org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings, which affects X11 sessions (and applications), but won't have the intended effect if you are running GNOME with Wayland.
