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 
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 
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 Mode 
(or Configure Panel).
    2. Hover over your taskbar to reveal the panel toolbar, then use the Panel 
Height slider to shrink it.
    3. The panel icon sizes will automatically scale down. Close the editor 
when finished.
4. Reset Individual Application Windows
If a specific KDE application (like Dolphin, Kate, or Konsole) is zoomed in:
    • Zoom Out: Press Ctrl + - (minus) on your keyboard.
    • Reset Zoom: Press Ctrl + 0 (zero) to revert to the default sizing.

Best regsrds,
