Are items still displaying too small on your monitor? What is your monitor's size and native resolution? Yeah what's the use case? Do you have like an 8k screen? :) (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #2) > Yeah what's the use case? Do you have like an 8k screen? :) No,but I wanna experiment with downscaling from 8k to 1080p and then it looks small if I do that. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #2) Note that Bug reporter in Bug 431494 claims that he can set a higher resolution than the monitor's native resolution, and "everything will look crispier". But do you *have* a super high resolution screen? What are the resolution and size of the screen you would like to set a custom scale factor on, and what custom scale factor would you like to use?

We're happy to support real use cases. Features added "just for experimenting" simply provide an opportunity for inexperienced users to break their systems, which is not worth satisfying the occasional curiosity of technical experts.

Then could you add a setting to enable "advanced display settings"? And there are already easys ways to break your system in kde settings by setting a too big size for something,like for example too big fonts. > And there are already easys ways to break your system in kde settings
Right. Too many. :) We want to *reduce* the number of ways you can accidentally break your system, not add more.
