I’ve just installed 18.10, and have no scaling settings availble in setting applet somehow. I’ve set com.ubuntu.user-interface scale-factor to {‘eDP-1’: 16} in donf-editor and it’ve scaled the login screen but does nothing for the desktop itself. I’ve also tried to play with all other “scale-...” setting in dconf with no success. The only thing worked was xsettings.overrides but it scales only windows, not dash/menu etc. So wheres the good’old scale setting in ubuntu 18.10?

You can go to Tweaks -> Fonts and there is option Scaling Factor.
