Hi, 
ksystemsettings powerdevilprofilesconfig module doesn't fit to my height (1366x768) in standalone case.
Why window size is hardcoded? I even can't resize it :(
That's why I need buy bigger monitor only for KF5/Plasma5 stuff.
Dear developer, please don't do hardcode any windows size, thanks.

P.S. well it sounds like someone should change or sell own laptop with mentioned resolution because of size-hardcoded windows :)



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find display with height 768
2. Run kcmshell5 powerdevilprofilesconfig
3. Try to find ok/cancel, apply :)


Expected Results:  
Module window should fit to any display

Known problem, see bug#366299.

> Why window size is hardcoded? I even can't resize it :(

The window size is not "hardcoded" at all, and it depends on the options that are actually supported by your hardware. IMHO, the bug seems to be that kcmshell5 tries to make the window large enough so that all options fit into the window, and doesn't take the screen size into account.

You can resize the window though, right-click on the title bar or the task manager entry and choose "More Actions"->Resize, or double-click on the title bar to maximize it.
You can also move the window by holding Alt and clicking/dragging anywhere on the window.

Or just open the "Power Management" settings in "System Settings", this doesn't suffer from the size problem.
