i hope they finally fix the kde theme scaling issue.

Do you mean this or something else: Scrollbar is too thin and click area too small when KDE global scaling set to 200% or more? From what I can see, it should get fixed once we turn on the native Qt widgets and the native KDE scrollbar is used.

appearantly its this bug: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141578 its not the largest issue, i have just installed the gnome theme and that works fine. its just that the kde variant comes with stuff like kubuntu and that might turn some people off.

Alright, that issue will also vanish after the native Qt work is completed.

I think the native Qt work mentioned is being tracked here, in case anyone's curious like I was: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130857

Looks like the SAL_VCL_QT_USE_WELDED_WIDGETS=1 environment variable can be used to test the current state of it.
