Created attachment 114047 [details] Shows the desktop effects dialog with the bug Application systemsettings Version 5.13.3 Linux (x86_64) release 4.17.8-1-ARCH When opening the Desktop Effects Dialog in System Settings the text cannot be read. I attach a screenshot of the dialog. I think the issue results from my scaling settings (upgraded to 4k monitor) which I set to scalingfactor 1.2 with the default Displays System Settings dialog. Furthermore i set the Fonts with "Force Fonts DPI" to 115. Changing the window size of the dialog does not change the outcome, the problem persists. It happens with Treeview, Icon View and Sidebar View. Other dialogs in the systemsettings work without a problem. Kind regards, Matthias Fabinski
small update: I tested with different scaling factors and found out, that with 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 the dialog works properly. The following scaling factors where tested and had similar graphical glitches: 1.2, 1.5, 2.5. The fontsetting has no impact on this, so it can be ignored in further work on this bug. Can someone point me to the sourcecode (repository) of the Desktop Effects Dialog, as i was not able to find it. Information about where to find documentation about the settingsapplication would be appreciated too. Kind regards, Matthias Fabinski

Git commit d28827626931ed9f8fbfd618bbdcdf3fdce6a5e6 by Nate Graham. Committed on 06/01/2019 at 23:09. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. [kcmkwin/compositing] Port Effects KCM to QQC2 Summary: This patch ports the Effects KCM to QQC2, which yields the following benefits: 1. General performance enhancements of only using QQC2 rather than a mix of 1 and 2 2. Some code simplification is possible 3. Improves the appearance of the checkable menu items in the dropdown menu, fixing https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402701 4. Improves the appearance when using a fractional scale factor, fixing https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396725 5. Fixes the incorrect size when opened from `kcmshell5` Along the way, two visual changes are introduced as a by-product of porting: 1. The scrollbar is inline, so it overlaps some of the buttons in the content. This is somewhat undesirable, but adopting a Kirigami scrollview would fix this. 2. The button that displays a dropdown menu no longer has a downward-pointing arrow to indicate as such. This is not my preference, but there's a benefit to being consistent, and eventually we could can change this in one place to impeove the appearance of buttons that display dropdown menus everywhere in one fell swoop.
