I was running wireshark when I realized that executing it using sudo and without sudo gave me a different user interface.



When running using sudo, it gives me nice sized icon and text. But running it without sudo makes the icon and some of the text so big.



Wireshark with sudo



I've also check for Packet Tracer and it gave me the same behavior. After some check, I realized that both Wireshark and Packet Tracer are using Qt.



Why does this happen? And how do I get the nice interface (like when running it with sudo), when running it without sudo?



NB: I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 with default desktop environment
