Created attachment 135599 [details] A screenshot of a window in Present-Windows: Text in the window looks pixely and ugly. SUMMARY Currently, when using the Present-Windows function the actual windows look a bit strange, because the full resolution of the window is reduced to a very small size. This makes text look strange and "pixely". A bit of blur on the windows would make the appearance much smoother and elegant. See screenshot for an example. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Present-Windows OBSERVED RESULT The windows look "pixely" because they are scaled without blur applied. EXPECTED RESULT A little bit of blur (maybe depending on screen resolution and window size?) would make it look smoother and better.
That isn't how things normally look. It implies the lanczos filter was disabled, which is something that happens when we detect poor hardware. Can you confirm output of: qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin org.kde.KWin.supportInformation

>glSmoothScale: 0 aha. Can you go to system settings -> compositor -> scale method and confirm it says "accurate"
Ah, indeed it was set to pixely. With it set to accurate, the present-window thing looks much better!
