Description Jaroslav Reznik 2016-10-13 12:22:35 UTC 
I have a multiscreen set up with different DPIs - internal laptop's resolution is 2560x1440 with two external Full HD monitors. When only internal is used, all looks good but when external (docked) are used, theme is hardly usable. On internal monitor it's messed up (see URL attachment), on external monitors, everything is tiny (I can provide picture if needed). 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. multimonitor set up with different DPIs
2. use sddm

Actual Results:  
Hardly usable theme

Expected Results:  
It just works. I even don't need proper scaling.

I can confirm this.
Comment 2 David Edmundson 2019-12-06 19:40:21 UTC 
Urgh, we need to do this in SDDM itself, with a filtered screen selection like we have in plasmashell.

Ach. Wanna close this as UPSTREAM and mention the SDDM bug report?

From the screenshot, it looks like the one I reported a long time ago. https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/805

It only happens when your external screen has a lower resolution than your laptop screen.
