====HiDPI====


If your screen has a relatively large resolution some portions of your desktop may appear abnormally small.<br />
====Lockscreen====
While KDE Plasma offers a way to 'scale' the appearance this feature does not always give good results, especially with fractional scaling (1.25x instead of 2x).<br />
The best results hinge on applying font DPI settings. It is advisable to keep your configuration to 'quarter steps'. Example:<br />
| 1.00x='''96dpi''' | 1.25x='''120dpi''' | 1.50x='''144dpi''' | 1.75x='''168dpi''' | 2.00x='''192dpi''' |


{{ic|System Settings -> Fonts -> Force font DPI (input desired DPI value)}}
Basic settings such as delay and shortcut can be configured at the System Settings location<br />
{{ic|System Settings -> Security & Privacy -> Screen Locking}}<br />
Selecting the {{ic|Configure Appearance}} button in the top-right corner will present styling options.


In order to set the DPI for GTK applications as well you can use an '''Environment Variable'''. Such as at {{ic|/etc/environment}}.<br />
This variable will use the 'fractional' scale number instead of DPI, as shown above. For example if you are using 144dpi then that is a 'fractional scale' of 1.5. Example:<br />


<code>GDK_SCALE=1.5</code>
=Tips and Tricks=
 
If you feel that icons need some resizing as well then you can use System Settings:
 
{{ic|System Settings -> Icons -> Configure Icon Sizes}}




====Lockscreen====
====File Manager====
 
As of now there is no easy way to configure the appearance of the lockscreen. It is provided by your '''look-and-feel''' theme, or lacking that, by the the default breeze.

Dolphin is the default file manager for Plasma.<br />
See its dedicated page [[Dolphin|here]].


====Desktop Settings====
====Desktop Settings====


To reach desktop settings right click on the desktop and select ''Configure Desktop''.  If that option isn't available(it is configurable), you can use the keyboard shortcut {{ic|Alt+D,Alt+S}}
