Description Szymon Łągiewka 2017-03-09 21:08:52 UTC

When Plasma on Wayland implementation comes in with per-display DPI, one thing that could be a great addition to KCM is resizing the presentation according to scaling factors that were applied per each display.

Example: http://imgur.com/a/ZT8iS
The laptop screen is QHD+ and has 13.3" diagonal. The external displays are 27" and have QHD resolution. In real life the externals are much bigger and laptop screen takes about a quarter of each external display. In the visualization the laptop screen overwhelms the externals.

I'll add that as a suggestion / idea to our new design, but I'll close this report so it doesn't show up in the list of defects, this makes bugreports easier to handle.

Thanks for the input!
