Three suggestions for JHV

[GitatHub]

My environment is Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS with a 4K display (200% scaled).

Three suggestions for JHV (see the screen snapshot below):

1. the checkbox before a layer is too narrow;
2. is it possible to add an option (like the X in the snapshot) to remove the current layer?
3. the New Layer drop-down box is too narrow and cannot always show the key text of a layer with a long name, for example, a "SECCHI" instrument.

Please run it under Gnome as described at http://swhv.oma.be/user_manual/#linux
That is, in your case, jhelioviewer -J-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2

The issue is that the JRE cannot determine reliably the pixel scaling under Gnome (the other Linux desktop environments work correctly).

Thank you. Now the GUI is displayed normally.
BTW, is it possible to add the scale option in the Settings of JHV, just like ImageJ as shown in the screenshot.
Thanks.

I would prefer that it works correctly without any setting. It works under the IntelliJ JRE, for example. For a while, that version was distributed with the packages, but it had other bugs which made the program unstable.

I will try again to find a solution (already spent many hours on this).
