Fancy Menu: Problem with Breeze and HiDPI scaling about lxqt-panel HOT 24 OPEN

Your screenshot doesn't show that there's a scaling factor > 1. Are you sure that there's any scaling? Which LXQt theme do you use?

from lxqt-panel.

If your scale factor is 1.5, then the size of those buttons is correct. Their icon size (PM_LargeIconSize) is 32px in most styles, and with a scale factor of 1.5 we have 32×1.5=48.

It looks like an issue with breeze widget style while with fusion is all fine:

Note: when changing widget style the panel needs to be restarted.

Interesting, any idea why this might be?

Yes, there is definitely scaling.
The theme is called system.

I don't see any difference in the button size in your screenshot. Its icon is also 48px, which is correct with a scale factor of 1.5.

Then it uses the widget style, which is Breeze in your case. As I said, I don't see any issue here if your scale factor is 1.5.

Actually the system theme combined with breeze widget style has still the issue with text not elided in taskbar buttons and should be unusable:

Using breeze widget the icons appear huge; there is no scale factor.

That's a Breeze issue we know about for a long time (sorry, didn't have time to find the link) and isn't related to this report. The Breeze devs know about it too but, for whatever reason, they didn't want to see it as an issue, although I showed to them where the problem was in their code.

All in all, everything seems OK to me regarding the button size if the scale factor is 1.5.

from lxqt-panel.

see above,no scale factor nowhere here, except breeze which scales up those icons.

from lxqt-panel.

there is no scale factor.

Now I am confused ;) @libalis says there is definitely a scale factor, while you say there isn't. Have I misread a comment?

from lxqt-panel.

I have deactivated sddm scaling and explicitly set lxqt to 2x scaling.

So it is related to breeze and even occurs without scaling according to @stefonarch.

from lxqt-panel.

Yes, in your last screenshots and considering your last info, Fusion is OK (64px), while breeze isn't (96px).

from lxqt-panel.

It should be related to a bug in KDE.

I vaguely remember that, when KDE6 came out, @stefonarch told me that its default scaling was 1.5. Now, Breeze may take it directly from KDE settings (which is a bug), such that, with a scale factor of 2, those icons have a size of 32×2×1.5=96px.

from lxqt-panel.

Do they know about this bug?

from lxqt-panel.

I don't know. They denied the obvious bug that @stefonarch mentioned (and whose link I can't find); so, I'm not sure anything will happen if they know about this one. I think they're happy as far as Breeze works fine only in KDE.

from lxqt-panel.

So sad

from lxqt-panel.

Ah, at last I found it: lxqt/lxqt#1525 (comment)

It was denied in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397337

from lxqt-panel.

If I get around to it tomorrow, I'll try to report it to breeze.

from lxqt-panel.

OK, I found some time to check it firsthand. These screenshots show those buttons with Breeze and System theme, with scale factors of 1 and 1.5, respectively:

As you can see, the icon size is correct: it's 32px with no scale factor and 48px with a scale factor of 1.5.

I have a full KDE installation, and I remember that I had to change a wrong setting somewhere in its systemsettings when it was upgraded to its version 6. Sadly, I don't remember what that setting was.

So, the problem can be worked around by finding and fixing that setting. It may be in its Display Configuration → Global scale (mine is 100%), but I'm not sure if it can be set outside Plasma6.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I did everything correctly, but the issue is now also on KDE bugs: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490420

from lxqt-panel.

Did you check systemsettings → Configuration → Global scale?

from lxqt-panel.

Sadly systemsettings doesn’t work for me.
