Compare fonts in Task Switcher "Compact" and elsewhere
The fonts in the Task Switcher "Compact" are blurred (not properly anti-aliased), while the fonts elsewhere are crisp.
QtQuick allows native freetype text rendering (which is slower than the default OpenGL distance field rendering), but it has to be enabled using a text property, see http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-text.html#renderType-prop Moving to kdeplasma-addons as the compact switcher is part of addons. Is there a way to try that out? Where should I add this text property? Just looked at the source code - it is just a plain Text item, not PlasmaComponents Label - so it doesn't use native rendering. I'll have a look. Please give the following patch a try: https://phabricator.kde.org/D3330 Git commit 00369ec41315470ebf121bd12d8309ddf9ed1b87 by Kai Uwe Broulik. Committed on 14/11/2016 at 09:25. Pushed by broulik into branch 'Plasma/5.8'. [Window/Desktop Switchers] Use PlasmaComponents.Label instead of Text The former uses native text rendering which respects anti-aliasing and hinting settings. It also automatically follows theme colors. Unfortunately it breaks the font.bold binding, so using font.weight here instead.

Created attachment 102124 [details] Task switcher "Compact" I enabled anti-aliasing in Fonts System Setting and configured it as following sub-pixel rendering type: RGB hinting style: full However, this setting does not seem to have an effect on the Task Switcher (Alt+Tab) which is set to Compact. The fonts in it are not anti-aliased properly.
