Viber Window Too Big on Gnome

After I updated my Viber to version 6.5.5.1481-2 on my Fedora box, it launched with a very big window interface! See below.


Looks like it's an auto-scaling issue on an application running on a high resolution screen.

Someone suggested to set QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR to zero (0).

Now, I have my application launcher viber.desktop as so...

 [Desktop Entry]
Name=Viber Comment=Viber VoIP and messenger 
Exec=bash -c 'QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 /opt/viber/Viber %u' Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/viber.png Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Network;InstantMessaging;P2P; MimeType=x-scheme-handler/viber;


Viber for normal vision, back.


Thanks, someone (mrreverendpain)!

    Setting it to zero (0) does it for me. Also works on Fedora 25, with Viber version 7.

    Does not work on elementary OS 5.0 (Ubuntu 18.10)

    QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it.
