--- Comment #3 from Eamonn Rea <eamonn...@protonmail.com> ---
Sorry if I wasn't clear, I understand that X11 doesn't support mixed DPI. I
wasn't referring to applications not scaling, I was referring to how they look
visually when downscaled, is there no way to make these applications which are
scaled up and then scaled down on non-scaled displays look any better visually?

I am fine with applications which don't support scaling looking too small on
unscaled displays, but applications which can be scaled up and moved to
non-scaled displays should be filtered better in some way, no? The impact
varies from application to application, for example with Steam it's generally
ok, but with some other cases like Qt applications, text can be
borderline-illegible when not on the display with the given scale factor.

Many applications are now using Wayland, but two massive use-cases are not
filled yet: The Steam Client, and games. Games running through Proton are fine
because once Wine and then Proton gets Wayland support, this will be fine, but
legacy games which may never get this kind of support, will consistently look
blocky when downscaled.

My post was not about adding mixed-scale support for X11, which is not feasible
and not relevant to KDE specifically. What I was asking for is a way to make
the apps which can be scaled up, look better when moved to displays which are
not scaled. They match the scale factor just fine but their contents do not
look visually appealing.
