Right now we have a few user-visible ways of increasing the size of user interface elements: - User interface scaling in the {nav KScreen} KCM - {nav Force Fonts DPI} in the {nav Fonts} KCM - Adjusting the font size in the {nav Fonts} KCM automatically adjusts the size of user interface elements in a similar manner to the {nav Force Fonts DPI} setting - The Resolution slider/combobox in the {nav KScreen} KCM. This is probably not something people use for scaling the UI because the results are pixellated and ugly, so we can probably ignore it here It would be nice of we could offer a single knob for "here's how you generically scale the whole user interface", because right now it's not clear. For example, if I want to make everything 10% bigger, the following three methods all work (for some definition of "work"): - Increase the size of the fonts by 1pt (from 10 to 11) in the Fonts KCM; everything seems to get about 10% bigger - Increase the font DPI from 96 to 106 in the Fonts KCM - Set a 1.1 scale factor in the KScreen KCM What do we do about this?

Right now we have a few user-visible ways of increasing the size of user interface elements: - Full screen scaling in the {nav KScreen} KCM - {nav Force Fonts DPI} in the {nav Fonts} KCM - Adjusting the font size in the {nav Fonts} KCM automatically adjusts the size of user interface elements in a similar manner to the {nav Force Fonts DPI} setting - Changing icon sizes in the Icons KCM - The Resolution slider/combobox in the {nav KScreen} KCM. This is probably not something people use for scaling the UI because the results are pixellated and ugly, so we can probably ignore it here - In-app scaling methods (e.g. increasing icon size in Dolphin's file view, or zooming in for web pages in Firefox) It would be nice of we could offer a single knob for "here's how you generically scale the whole user interface", because right now it's not clear.
