Desktop Mode Steam Keyboard is zoomed in too far to use

Also steam ui is bigger than normal on desktop aswell
this happened to me a few days ago on gnome, turns out fractional scaling was enabled for the deck display. i reverted back to 100% and everything started working fine again (can't remember if i had to restart steam or go back to game mode then go back to desktop mode). perhaps you could check display settings?
Same issue here. You can still use the keyboard tho
so could you disable this in kde aswell or gnome only?
guess ill check display settings for everything then
nope couldnt find anything
i'm sure kde display settings also had it
i can't remember the exact name, but if you right click on the desktop and select the display settings thing iirc it will take you there
pic is from the net, but this is what i meant. if the issue is indeed scaling, the global scale would not be at 100%, and theoretically speaking setting it back to 100% would solve the problem
yeah that could work
but im pretty sure they set it to 185% so everything wouldnt be too big
or does it only work for apps
i mean
other programms
just put it to 100%
way too big
also it didnt fix the keyboard issue
ðŸ˜
can you show me how it looks rn?
uh one second
its hard to transfer screenshots
i had my deck on the kde image for a while and 100% worked perfectly
yeah worked for me at first aswell
dont know why its doing this
keyboard still the same
is it on 100% scaling now? or 185%?
100
ok, try going back to gaming mode
and then back to desktop?
yeah and back in again, and see if it helps. or maybe just close the steam app on desktop mode and restart it first
bc when i had this in gnome i had to either restart steam first or go back to game mode or reboot, can't exactly remember lol
yup it works now
lovely!
just one last question
can i set it back to 185
or do i have to stick with 100 now
for the deck display itself i think 100 is best, but if you have other displays with higher res then you can set them to higher %s
but now that you know how to fix the issue i think it's a good idea to experiment
ill try setting it back to 100
like maybe try 125 or 150, restart steam, and see if the keyboard goes all funny again
and switching game mode
also thank you for your help i probably wouldnt have figured this out on my own
guess ill set this post solved
np! i recognized the gigantic keyboard immediately lol, fresh in my memories
did you reboot after setting it?
also the alternative is apparently decky cssloader and a keyboard skin that allows resizing, enable for desktop and then resize it
i dont use cssloader so i cant tell you what to use exactly past cssloader and a keyboard skin
i already fixed it
im using desktop mode just fine now
actually 150 is kind of better than 185
ok 🙂
