support is experimental and is intended for testing purposes only. <code>gnome-shell</code> or applications

Wayland environment.</p>

-    <p>Screens with high resolutions/densities are becoming increasingly common. In order to be usable on 
these displays, it is necesarry to scale graphical interfaces to match. GNOME 3.10 introduces support for 
these types of displays, and will now automatically scale what is displayed on the screen to compensate for 
increased display density. This ensures that controls and content appear at the correct size, and that 
interfaces are usable. This work could not have been possible without <link
