Description Anon2425627323687 2025-02-23 06:45:24 UTC
Stuff is just way too small on a 42" 4k monitor. Would be nice for a toggle/slider to adjust how big a window preview is. Same with task switchers as well, it'd be nice to adjust that as well.

If stuff is too small on a monitor of that size, you're supposed to be using the scaling setting in System Settings > Display & Monitor. I actually use Plasma on my TV in an HTPC setup and this method works great; it's waaaaaaay better than individually tweaking the size of each and every little thing all over the system (which isn'e even possie anyway, since not everything can be individually tweaked in this manner).

I do use the scaling setting at 150 and stuff is still way too small. I don't see how it wouldn't be possible. Even the setting says small window preview. There could be a setting in there that controls it's size, even if it just said big window preview.

Then you should use a higher scale factor to make everything *even* bigger. :) 

But I'm afraid we aren't interested in adding configurability for just the Task Manager tooltip sizing, sorry.

If I went any bigger on the scale factor my mouse would change size. Sorry but I'll just stick with 150% where everything looks good. Is there specific code that handles taskbar window previews, maybe I can edit it myself or find a way to contribute to the project somehow.
