I changed the display scaling setting back again after restarting.

It just looked too bad and there were too many problems - the biggest of which
was that the tabs in the bottom panel were too large and had a font-size that
was much too large so that only very few open windows were shown there.
Furthermore the text-size of many buttons was too large for the buttons, text
and icons were unaligned in the left sidebar in dolphin and the space between
icons on the desktop was too large. I think the resolution also wasn't as good
and there were additional problems. So as of right now it imo works best to use
large scaling settings (not even the largest setting with the exception of
things like a media center folder) in apps like dolphin and in KDE appearance
options and to zoom in where needed.

I guess there are *many* bugs to be resolved with this scaling if that's the
way the UI is intended to be adapted to larger screens. I won't create bug
reports for these as it probably needs more in-depth knowledge of the software
and in-depth testing.

Could the status of this issue be changed back to "wishlist" as a very good
near-term solution and a generally useful change would be to change the maximum
zoom in dolphin (or to make it changeable) or, as the modified title of this
issue says, to allow 512+ px icon sizes? Even if the display scaling worked
flawlessly in practice that would be very useful.
