Hi,

1. Revert Display & Desktop Scaling
If your entire desktop or UI is enlarged:
    1. Open System Settings > Display & Monitor > Display Configuration.
    2. Locate Global Scale and drag the slider down (or set it to 100%).
    3. Click Apply and restart your applications or log out and log back in=
=20
for changes to take effect properly.
2. Reset System Fonts
If just the text is too big:
    1. Open System Settings > Appearance > Fonts.
    2. Click the Adjust All Fonts... button.
    3. Select the default size (typically 10 or 11 pt).
    4. Verify that Force font DPI is either unchecked (standard) or set to =
the=20
default 96 DPI. Click Apply.
3. Reset the Taskbar/Panel Size
If the panel/taskbar is too large after scaling:
    1. Right-click an empty space on your desktop and select Enter Edit Mod=
e=20
(or Configure Panel).
    2. Hover over your taskbar to reveal the panel toolbar, then use the Pa=
nel=20
Height slider to shrink it.
    3. The panel icon sizes will automatically scale down. Close the editor=
=20
when finished.
4. Reset Individual Application Windows
If a specific KDE application (like Dolphin, Kate, or Konsole) is zoomed in:
    =E2=80=A2 Zoom Out: Press Ctrl + - (minus) on your keyboard.
    =E2=80=A2 Reset Zoom: Press Ctrl + 0 (zero) to revert to the default si=
zing.

Best regsrds,
Yuri
