Just installed 2.3.3, still having this issue. On top of that, KDE Store's version deleted all my local settings.

Strange, after renaming /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.weather/contents/ui/FullRepresentaion.qml it works as expected and the issue is gone. What do I miss?

Regarding the deleting of your settings:
There's virtually no documentation on how to publish things on the KDE Store (pling.com) - I think maybe I did something wrong in the publishing process and Discover is treating it as a new download rather than an upgrade?

Uninstalled the old version and deleted the /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.weather still same problem in 2.3.3

Maybe, unfortunately, I don't have insight into KDE Store. By the way, where are the local settings such as location etc. stored?

Try uninstall, delete: /home/your_account/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.weatherWidget-2, restart and install new widget version.

Uninstalled the old version and deleted the /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.weather still same problem in 2.3.3

@Everest10: The location depends on how the widget was installed...

If installed by "Get Widget" it will install your home folder in the following location: $HOME/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.weatherWidget-2

If installed using AUR/pacman it will install for all users in /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.weatherWidget-2

Make sure both those folders are gone, download the plasmoid again and install using plasmapkg -i ...

[blackadderkate]

By the way, where are the local settings such as location etc. stored?

@fkru they are stored in $HOME/config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
Look for a section starting something like this (although the [2] and [38] will vary according to how you have configured your desktop):

[Containments][2][Applets][38]
immutability=1
plugin=org.kde.weatherWidget-2

Location settings are in this section:
[Containments][2][Applets][38][Configuration][General]

It appears too big on my laptop now.
Distro: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0
QT Version: 5.15.6
Graphics Platform: X11
UI Scale: 250%
Resolution: 3840x2160
DPI: 210

This package is installed from AUR, and I tried to remove widget -> uninstall package -> install again -> add widget, still that big.

It fills the whole screen, like this.

[Everest10]

It's ok right now. Fedora 37, Plasma 5.26.1

[blackadderkate]

@ZWindL OK, I'll need to test with different UI Scale and DPI settings on my development Virtual Machine, to see if I can figure out what is going on.

[Grief]

Same problem, widget appears too big with overlapped labels

[Grief]

@blackadderkate I've removed multiplications by devicePixelRatio all across the code and it started to look adequate. Could you please add an option, like ☑ Ignore system DPI into the appearance settings tab which would make those multiplications conditional?

Or maybe those multiplications could be just removed since they are not working, as you can see from the screenshot above. Some values are multiplied and some are not which leads to the overlapping of the elements

[blackadderkate]

@Grief On my development machine, devicePixelRatio is 1 regardless of what I set DPI or the Global Scale to. Presumably this setting only changes if you have an Ultra HD monitor, which I don't have.

I'll remove the multipliers as you suggested...

Longer term, I'd like to implement some kind of scaling setting, so that the Meteogram can be made bigger on very large screens... I'll raise a new issue for that now...

[Grief]

You are correct, devicePixelRatio is for monitor's dpi (my screen is 4K), however there are a lot of tricks with it: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/highdpi.html

[ArchangeGabriel]

The DPI change is borking the display on HiDPI monitors indeed: #127 (comment)

Hi, same problem:
On X11 there is no problem.
