Created attachment 162344 [details] Screenshot of described issue SUMMARY In the new scaling overview, minor artifacts are visible, likely due to scaling (render window overview at native res -> scale it down to fit)? In the attachment, one can notice the following issues: * The close button is inconsistent (The top border looks 'thinner' than the left or right borders) * The window title text looks kind of odd to me STEPS TO REPRODUCE 0. (maybe) have a low resolution display? 1. Open new overview OBSERVED RESULT Sharp graphics EXPECTED RESULT Blurry graphics. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.240.0 Qt Version: 6.5.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
What scale factor are you using?
Scaling factor is 100%.
I think this have been fixed in the recent updates.
Created attachment 165552 [details] Issue shown on Neon unstable Are you sure? I tried Neon unstable 20240201, and the issue still seems to appear. In this picture, it can be seen by the top edge of the close button being 'thinner' than the other edges. That definitely looks like a scaling artifact to me. Maybe it's only really visible/noticeable on a low res screen, like my 1366x768 laptop?

On my 1920x1080 screen things seem all right

Git commit 51fb56773bdf4968646e4e9c5de100a1a62ea234 by Marco Martin. Committed on 08/02/2024 at 13:01. Pushed by mart into branch 'master'. Don't scale WindowHeap in overview mode when in overview mode, don't scale down WindowHeap, as this will cause ugly glitches, but resize it down instead. Still use transforms when it goes in desktop grid mode, at least for now probably future further refactor can still help things Before:  After:  M +78 -77 src/plugins/overview/qml/main.qml https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/51fb56773bdf4968646e4e9c5de100a1a62ea234

Improved if not completely fixed with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/51fb56773bdf4968646e4e9c5de100a1a62ea234. Quinten, can you test again with KWin that has that commit in it?
Created attachment 165794 [details] Behaviour after relevant commit I tried the most recent Neon Unstable (20240211) which should have the relevant commit. It looks a lot better now, the text doesn't look bad anymore and the close button is now also nice and uniform. It does however seem like the icons are slightly blurry? Looking at the system settings icon for example, it seems the blue slider bars aren't as sharp as they should be when compared to the same icon elsewhere. I don't know how WindowHeap handles icon sizes though, so I don't know if this behavior is unexpected, or even fixable.
