Created attachment 134512 [details] System settings' minimum size is too big and not tile-friendly SUMMARY System Settings, the way it is right now, isn't good for 2-way or quarter tiling on 1080p monitors (and monitors with lower resolution). OBSERVED RESULT It takes up over half of the monitor's length & width on 1080p, which would be even worse on monitors with lower resolution. EXPECTED RESULT On 1080p monitors, at the very least, it shouldn't overlap with other windows with quarter tiling. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Testing Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.8.0-33-generic OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB/PCIe/SSE2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I don't have a monitor or laptop that are <1080p to show it, but if it's this bad on FHD, it'd be even worse on those displays.
FWIW you can use KWin's own quarter-tiling functionality to force the window to a smaller size than its minimum size. However many KCMs will get cut off and have horizontal and vertical scrollbars. The minimum size is set fairly high to prevent that. Once more KCMs are ported to use more space-efficient layouts, we'll be able to reduce the minimum window size. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 395476 ***
