hmm odd no idea why that happens will try to reproduce
Comment 3 Daniel Nicoletti 2018-02-21 18:23:22 UTC 
Hmm I usually enable that on QtQuick apps, if you add that line does it fix your issue?

Dr. Chapatin is not a developer; I'm afraid you or someone else will have to answer that question.

If you're not already aware, you can easily simulate HiDPI mode by running `QT_SCALE+FACTOR=1.5 apper`

This project is unfortunately no longer maintained.

If a new maintainer wants to step up and take care, the project is archived here:

https://invent.kde.org/system/apper

You can just clone it in your private namespace on invent.kde.org and if you have started to work on it and fixed/implemented something get it reviewed and the project unarchived.

Sorry for the inconveniences.
