I'm running linux mint's cinnamon desktop. In system settings I have Font Selection->Text Scaling Factor set to 1.2 and under Accessibility->Visual Aids->Large text toggled on. The reason is that I like big menus/fonts/texts so I can use my 2560x1440 monitor without having to put on my reading glasses.
Those settings arent used when I run programs in dwm (firefox, thunderbird, gnome-terminal). They are apparently using their respective defaults.
How do I go about making the programs in dwm look the same as they do in cinnamon?
I have determined that changing Font Selection->Text Scaling Factor is equivalent to running the following in terminal
gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.2
When I run this in dwm there is no change, which makes sense since I'm in dwm not cinnamon.
Is there a way for me to set something similar in dwm for firefox and such?
I tried:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.2
but it didn't change anything.
I know I can change firefox's appearance in about:config but I want to make changes that only apply when firefox is running in dwm and leave the appearance of firefox in cinnamon unchanged.
