I just setup my Dell XPS 13 2015 with archlinux and i3 and have had some issues with proper scaling and HiDPI. I've set my DPI to it's proper value via this config for xorg:

This as my gtkrc-2.0 http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=gaMKY9be

Additionally I've set Xft.dpi: 277 set in my Xresources

While this has solved most of my issues, I'm still experiencing issues with getting icons to scale properly. My system tray icons are tiny regardless of how large my i3bar is and other applications like PCManFM have tiny icons in the GUI. Does anyone know how to force these icons to properly scale with i3?

A lesser issue but perhaps something that may help resolving my issue is that Google Chrome is also tiny unless launched with the --force-device-scale-factor=2 flag raised.

I'm sure there's a simple solution, but this has been driving me mad. Thank you ahead of time!

Edit: I've managed to configure my gtk applications further in my gtkrc and get the icons to scale properly! Now I just can't figure out how to get the system tray icons to get larger
