https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440140 --- Comment #3 from Nate Graham --- For apps that use Qt scaling, it scales the original thing up or down. I don't know whal algorithm is used. For Plasma when not using Qt scaling (i.e. on X11 unless you set the PLASMA_IUSE_QT_SCALING=1 environment variable), it will actually use the larger versions of the assets, if available. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440140 --- Comment #2 from G_v_I --- Thank you for the reply; I appreciate it! This may not be the best place to ask, but does the global scale setting actually up - or downscale items (using something like e.g. the Lanczos algorithm), or does it cause the DE to use smaller or larger alternatives if those are available? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Note that changing icon sizes is not a supported or recommended way to achieve global scaling. It is strongly encouraged to set the global scale to 200% rather than trying to make icons or text huge and hoping and praying that everything else scales up properly. The result is usually a visual mess. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
