Thanks for the pointer, I see `KCMKScreen::exportGlobalScale()` in kcm.cpp now. main_x11.cpp and startplasma-x11.cpp also transform this env variable before it is accessed. Could this mean that the effect is not using Qt units somewhere in the Overview/Bar QML definition? The base height is calculated using `Kirigami.Units.gridUnit`, but there are some other parameters in use, like KWinComponents.SceneView.screen.geometry.width -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
