Description Pascal d'Hermilly 2016-12-30 15:10:58 UTC
Hi
The login screen for KDE Neon (user) is unreadably small on an external screen (1920x1080 on 22 inches).
The login screen is also small on the laptop screen but it's readable even though it has same 1920x1080 resolution and being screen is physically smaller.
Comment 1 Stefan L 2017-02-02 09:59:29 UTC
Internal Screen: 1920x1080 on 14" (Dell Latitude E7440)
External Screen: 1920x1080 on 24" (connected via HDMI)
Operating System: KDE neon 5.8

I can confirm this issue.

on the internal screen the login screen (SDDM) is perfectly readable and "normal" size as far as I can tell.
On the external screen however the whole login screen (font, login-button, user-logo) is very tiny and almost unreadable.
