| Disclaimer : this is a "Quick gist", meaning I won't describe everything that happened precisely. I had a problem, found a solution, here it is | |
| Cause : | |
| Was on ArchLinux KDE 5.23.3 X11, went to Wayland then back to X11, and fonts seemed to be bigger, imgages and panel parts (like the app launcher) too | |
| When creating a new user, they also had these weird settings. Not sure if caused by Wayland changing something system-wide or an recent update in KDE on new sessions | |
| Resolution : | |
| Managed god-know-how to get an user to have a smaller font+images+widgets size | |
| File ~/.config/kdeglobals seems to manage KDE settings | |
| found setting 'font' in General set to `font=Noto Sans,9,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0` | |
| Put it in the kdeglobals file of my user | |
| Changed "Windows title" to "Noto Sans 8pt" in KDE GUI settings editor | |
| Everything seems to be quite back to normal now | |
| Didn't search further, will maybe do it one day. | |
| Hope this helped you, plz tell me if so |
