      Hi,

      I'm running UT (24.04-1.2) natively on a Volla Tablet (no dual boot).
      I installed some snap apps like Gimp and LibreOffice. They work great with one exception:

      The workspace scales to a normal size and works perfectly. But the menu bar as well as all menus around the work area (where you choose e.g. tools in Gimp or fonts or text styling in LibreOffice) are tiny and it's hard to work with.

      I tried different UI settings from within the apps (like screen resolution in DPI from Gimp settings) without any effect.

      I tried to tweak that with UT Tweak Tool without success.

      I tried to run these apps from terminal with settings like

      $ GDK_SCALE=2 GDK_DPI_SCCALE=0.75 snap run gimp

      and

      $ snap connect gimp:gtk-3-themes :gtk-3-themes

      Also no success.

      Is there any way to tweak this? Thank you!!!
