I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 on VMware Workstation Pro 16. Everything works fine. But the icon looks really small. I'd like to enlarge it by 200%. So I do Settings->Displays->Scale->200%and apply it.

The problem is every time I stretch the window or restart the system, the scale changes back automatically. Is there any way I can keep the scale unchanged?

On Ubuntu 22 it worked this way:

sudo nano /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/90_hidpi.gschema.override

Set scaling factor:

[org.gnome.desktop.interface]
scaling-factor=2

Recompile + reboot

sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
sudo reboot
