LXQT Monitor Settings: Monitor icons are not resized on resizing dialog

[jonesmz]

Expected Behavior

The size of the displayed icons in the "Set Position" workflow should be reasonable based on the DPI of my screens.
I have 1920x1080 screens (not 4k screens), so the displayed icons should show as a reasonable size for my desktop

Current Behavior

This is how it looks, notice that the test is unreadable and the icons are tiny.

here's the same full screened on a single monitor

Cannot reproduce, I've one 1920x1080 monitor and a smaller one, that's how it looks here:

But I noticed that the size changes if the window is resized or fullscreen (where the monitor screens are ~1/3 of the screen) and reopened. Remembering size was introduced only some days ago though. It looks like it takes in count a real small size at yours at startup.

Which window manager are you using?

[tsujan]

Not reproducible here either.

But I have only two monitors. Whether this depends on the number of monitors is a question that only the reporter could answer.

[jonesmz]

I'm using KWin 6.1.4

I'll try it with fewer screens attached, thanks.

[jonesmz]

No obvious difference with fewer screens.

smallest window size

Full screen

[stefonarch]

No obvious difference with fewer screens.

It looks to me like there is: on your first screenshot with 6 monitors and minimal size the text wasn't readable.

Do you have the possibility to test lxqt-config from git where the window size is remembered? The monitor size gets adjusted only on reopening.

[Chiitoo]

The most recent pictures look similar to what I see with three displays here (1 x 1080p 2 x 1440p), with current 'git master' on Gentoo Linux.

Last image after re-opening.

[tsujan]

With my old laptop, whose monitor is broken, I have an external monitor and LXQt 1.3.0. I tested with it and saw that the monitor icons weren't resized on resizing the dialog.

The only change in the current git master is that, if the dialog is resized and closed, the monitor icons will also be resized the next time it is opened. That's shown in @stefonarch's and @Chiitoo's last screenshots.

Therefore, this is a very old issue that, by chance, is made tolerable with the git lxqt-config.

[tsujan]

The fix is here: #1054

Tests would be very appreciated.

[stefonarch]

Looks fine:
