+values first, open a terminal and type:
+
+~~~
+QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.8 qubes-global-settings
+~~~

+by creating a file `/etc/profile.d/dpi_QT.sh` (in dom0) with
+the following content and your own values:
+
+~~~
+#!/bin/sh
+
+export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.8
+~~~
+
+Then make the script executable with
+
+~~~
+sudo chmod +x /etc/profile.d/dpi_QT.sh
