Bug ID: 361295
Summary: desktop scaling with setting font dpi no longer looks
right
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.6.1
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: winsauce...@gmail.com
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
I recently upgraded plasma using arch packages, not sure where i came from
(likely 5.4 or 5.5). I have a high resolution display, and was using:
1. Desktop scaling set to 2x
2. Force fonts DPI to 192
This meant that most applications looked right. UI elements were for most
things I used correctly sized, and fonts looked right.
Now that I've updated to 5.6, things no longer look right. Suppose that I
don't force fonts DPI to 192, so it defaults to 96, but I have scaling at 2x.
In that case, native KDE programs like dolphin and system settings look right
-- correct font size, correct element sizes. But many things have small fonts,
such as: chromium, the application launcher menu.
If I then increase the font size to 192 with scaling at 2x, other programs
(like Chromium) start to look right, but now the native programs like dolphin
and system settings have huge fonts, as does the lock screen.
If I set font size to 192 with scaling at 1x, then most things look close to
right, but the icons in dolphin and system settings are too small. The
application launcher looks right, with the right sized icons (where 'right'
means they appear to be double scaled).
It seems to me that some programs are scaling their fonts as a result of the
scaling option along with their UI elements, while others are not scaling
either. Then, when I scale the font size, *some* applications are getting a
double dose of font sizing (adding it to that which they already do from the
desktop scaling option), while others are not.
Reproducible: Always
