QT seems to scale twice under gnome.
VirtualBox Scaling -- huge buttons



When I start QT applications from gnome the icons are huge. When I start qt5ct from terminal, the scaling is fixed and icons are normal size.



I have tried:



  • Setting the QT_SCALE_FACTOR environment to 1.

  • Setting scaling to 1 in KDE System Settings

[Edit]
Setting QT_SCALE_FACTOR=0.5 in .profile seems to scale everything by half, but setting it to any other value reverts back to huge icons.
