Hello :-)

I got a laptop with 1366x768 display, but 15.6" wide

This is a large screen for the pixel count.

I would like to have the same screen content as HD 1080 one, one, that is scale down the screen around 30%

I have a partial solution, scaling the pixel count of the screen in the font setup from 96 to 70, but this is only for fonts, not for icons, task bar...

and neither for windows decorations

Is there a way (in themes???) to get this?

I use openSUSE Leap 42.3 and asked on they forum, but without usefull answers (but mine)

https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread. ... -size-(kde)

may be somthing like this:

(not sure, I have no Windows install in this machine)

thanks

Playing with xrandr --scale and --panning, I get something than oldtimer will remember (was on CRT Alt + and alt -), with virtual screen

xrandr --output eDP-1 --scale 1.41x1.41 --panning 1920x1080

(eDP-1 is my screen name)

This gives nearly the result I look for, except than plasma don't play well with it, the desktop do not scale. To be usable, I have to send the task bar to the top of the screen and the background is partially black
