Neon guest OS in virtual box maximized window panel height is good.
Not maximized window panel goes too tiny by default. Non-maximized guest os virtualbox window, guest OS panel manually set taller for readability After some resizing of VirtualBox window with guest OS/neon, the guest OS panel reverts back to small height. |

After some resizing of VirtualBox window with guest OS/neon, the guest OS panel reverts back to small height.
Note that maximized (first picture in attachment) and non-maximized (second picture) windows are very close in size. And yet panel height logic sets very different automated/default panel heights. See bug 408055 Does this happen if you *don't* set the Force Fonts DPI to some high value? My native screen dpi is 330 as I explained in the bug report, but I only try up to 92*3 dpi for symmetry with "scale display". Originally I was setting either ("force font dpi=288" a and "scale display=1") or (unchecked "force font dpi" and "scale display=3") And yes the effect for non-maximized window was there in both cases and panel in maximized window and full screen looked correct/big enough. After you prompted me I tried (unchecked "force font dpi" and "scale display") and panel in maximized window and menu and desktop fonts look big with readable size. The effect with smaller panel in non-maximized window is still there too. I am confused regarding font in menu and desktop, maybe guest OS gets correct DPI via VirtualBox from host OS without me messing with scale display and force font dpi. I don't remember how it was when I installed neon first. I noticed only sddm login screen had too tiny font (But this is another unrelated bug).c Probably I will try to install neon from scratch to notice initial state. When "scale display=1" and "force font dpi" is unchecked then Menu and desktop icons are of a good size ,but dolphin and fonts in menu on left size in system settings look too tiny. So I am confused now why neon does not treat kde fonts consistently. "display scale=3" fixes the problem with fonts in dolphin and menu on left in system settings Seems like this is another instance of Bug 356446. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 356446 *** Un-duping since this should be possible to fix separately even if Bug 356446 is never fixed. Upon further investigation and consultation with colleagues, ultimately the only way to cleanly fix this is indeed to use Qt scaling. Re-duping to Bug 356446. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 356446 *** |
