Better 1.25 DSF

Reported by zcyzcy88...@gmail.com, May 4 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. a 13 inch monitor
2. set Windows DPI as 125%

What is the expected behavior?
(https://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/96742/what-does-chrome-mean-besides-the-metal)

chrome zoom: 1.0
text in chrome zoom: 1.25

We need a smart, elegant zoom.

What went wrong?
{A}
3. set Google Chrome DSF as 1.0 (by force-device-scale-factor)
4. open Google Chrome

chrome zoom: 1.0
text in chrome zoom: 1.0

text is too small.

-----------------------------

{B}
3. set Google Chrome DSF as 1.0 (by force-device-scale-factor)
4. open Google Chrome

chrome zoom: 1.25
text in chrome zoom: 1.25

chrome is too big.
and chrome@1.25 is ugly, not pixel perfect.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 60.0.3089.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit) (cohort: 64-Bit)  Channel: canary
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

This behavior is as expected when buggy.

I'm not sure I understand the issue. Your A and B scenario are the same, but you have different zoom levels listed as the result. Did you mean for scenario B to be be force-device-scale-factor=1.25? If that's the case then those numbers look correct to me. If scaling is set to 125% then the top chrome will be 125% larger and the text will 125% larger, which is correct.

Keep in mind force-device-scale-factor is a debug flag and we generally don't prioritize fixes to it.

If you have specific issues with Chrome being ugly or not pixel perfect at 125% then filing a bug about that would be very helpful, especially if you include a screenshot. Also note that Chrome is supposed to be larger at 125% scaling, that itself is not a bug.
Fix typo:

{B}
3. set Google Chrome DSF as <<<1.25>>> (by force-device-scale-factor)
4. open Google Chrome

----------------------------------------

I don't mean the `force-device-scale-factor` flag, the flag behavior is
proper now.

I mean the UI design.

Always know laptop's monitor is small.

1.25 DSF: chrome is too big, use too much room
1.0 DSF: text is too small, hurt eyes

Again, the text being that size is not a bug. Your "expect" screenshot has text that is too large, assuming your font sizes haven't been changed (which you can do via Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Display>Change only the text size).

The find text being blurry is tracked in  bug 666357 . The bubble arrow is tracked in  bug 624526 . The menu line is tracked in  bug 703209 . The omnibox right border wasn't tracked, but I know what the issue is so I left a comment in bug 668278. The permission selection border is new to me, but since we're in the process of removing it I won't file a bug for it.

Thank you for your report! I'm closing this in favor of the more specific bugs.
This thread is not a bug report, is a feature request for improve user experience on small screen.

Thanks your reply.

Whilst this might not be a "bug" it was displayed a certain way for a very long time (since I started using Chrome from like v10) then suddenly changed to very big.

1920x1080 @125DPI on a 22inch screen is considered small? I think not.

Normal scaling the bookmark bar + menus after this update make everything very big.
