SUMMARY This isn't so much a bug as a feature request. I'm using kstars on the Pinephone linux phone running Mobian (Debian for mobile), and have found it to be the best astronomy app for the phone. Thank you for making such a great product! My only problem is that the app doesn't scale properly on the small screen of a phone without some tweaks. It comes close, but some of the menus on the top bar are off the screen using the default setup. I can make it work by switching the phone to horizontal layout and setting the global "scale-to-fit" option in Phoc (the compositor) to "on," and then it works great. But the Purism developers of Phoc have told me they are going to remove the global scaling option sooner or later, and that I should report apps that don't scale properly on the phone to the developers. So I wanted to reach out and see if you would consider revising the app a bit to make it scale properly on screens that are smaller than your typical computer or tablet size. Please let me know if there's any information I can provide, or testing I can do, to help in this effort. Thank you. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Mobian (Debian for mobile), installed via Flatpak (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This seems to be an overall issue with the KDE frramework. All the non-kirigami apps are built for the desktop, so basic things (like themes in games) are *mostly* usable, like you say. I'm using Plasma on my phone and find that normal programs (like Kate) can become unusable due to the file dialog not working properly. I think this is likely NOT this developer's issue, as much as it is an over-arching issue within the frameworks themselves.
KStars is designed to work on desktops so it is unlikely it will work on a small mobile screen unless there is major refactoring.
