Hello, I recently switched from Manjaro Cinnamon to Manjaro Plasma and am getting some new graphical issues. The UI is extremely small. I’ve tried various solutions that I’ve found online over the past couple weeks (mostly involving creating some files to change DPI) but have only succeeded in preventing the system form booting (I reverted breaking changes).
I have also tried changing the global scale in the display configuration. This doesn’t quite work either. For starters, it doesn’t change the scale of the login prompt. It remains the same very small size. GRUB is also barely readable, but I can look past that. But even after logging in, the scale of some UI components is increased, but others remain the same. For example, most buttons and text will be scaled up, but things like spacing and margins will stay the same size, which looks very unpleasant. Furthermore, some of the buttons on window decorations scale up but others do not. Also, when I open a new window, it appears very small if not at the minimum allowable size.
I believe I need to change my DPI but I can’t figure out how. Here is my system info.
