a global UI DPI scaling that works for all apps such as steam would be pretty cool. Windows actually has this and I love its %125/130 modes. I know Plasma has DPI scaling already but its quite clear its very touch and go with MANY apps having odd issues with it!

I hope that big thing has something to do with roman and david's performance patches for Kwin.

I've always found global DPI scaling on Windows to be rather crappy. Lots of little problems all over the place that lead to it not being very useful except in short stretches. There's really no substitute for proper screen resolution setting, no matter what the DPI weenies think.

Deepin (the DE) also has this, both on current stable 15.11 and the v20 beta.
