      For real, I loved having the random wallpapers. I don’t know much about the situation, but maybe there will be a way to do it through a third party app.

    They’re removing font size control? Seems like an important feature - not all fonts are automatically legible at your desired scaling factor.

    Nvm, the article previously said:

    So for Plasma 6, we’re removing methods #3 (On Wayland) and #4 (everywhere) to simplify this situation

    but it was changed to #3 and #5

      No no, that’s not what it says.

      They are removing this on Wayland:

      Force Font DPI spinbox in System Settings > Appearance > Fonts

      And this on both Wayland and Xorg:

      Adjustable icon sizes for many icons in many KDE apps in System Settings > Appearance > Icons

        The article originally said

        It’s since been changed to #3 and #5
