  I think it has to be uniform.

Good question.

Use of Qt methods is slightly weird, as kwin implements it's own QPA which means we're reading things via an abstraction layer rather than directly. In theory it should work, but you're going to struggle to tie a QScreen to what's being rendered.

Ideally we would want to use KWin::Screens() but that's not exposed to effects.

GLRenderTarget::virtualScreenScale() is currently only set to screen->scale during the paint method. This is postPaint. We could set it during pre/postPaint too.

Avoid the term scaled in any variable name.

It can mean scaled from logical to device, or scaled from device to logical. Which means it fails to convey the one piece of important information you're trying to say.

use something like"deviceGeometry"
