no. xfce only supports whole number gtk scaling.

you have two options. the xrandr scaling (either in mx-tweak or in Display, they work the same setting), or ramp up the dpi setting in Appearance, then adjust zoom in apps that can to make the interface for comfortable.

I also find mysefl using KDE/plasma more often. it has a display zoom setting that supports fractional scaling.
No you can install plasma in mx packageinstaller. Popular apps
I am so glad I switched to Plasma. It really makes MX even cooler. Thanks for all of the help.

Sorry for taking so long to reply and I did not take screenshots, but mine didn't look as good as when I adjust the DPI under Appearance.

No problem. Seeing the above makes me want to try plasma. I'll check it out. I'm curious now.
Mixed of desktops and laptops, I have a Gravis Ultrasound Classic card (unfortunately its ISA-slot based) ... - I must be a dino. :popcorn:
Running on my DesktopPC - MX-23.4 AHS with latest Kernel: 6.12.17-1-liquorix-amd64

Same here, only I'll check to see if the - Default Applications works OK in MX-KDE.
