Unfortunately my recent experience with the Windows version was negative. I installed KDE Connect so I could link it with my Steam Deck but the text on the Windows version was completely screwed up to the extent that the UI was completely unusable.
After Googling it seems a work around was to disable hardware acceleration but I was reluctant to do that.
I wanted to revert back to an earlier version (which apparently didn't suffer from thsi bug) but there's no repository for old versions.
- commoner 3y agoThe Chocolatey package manager for Windows can install old versions of software from its package repo. KDE Connect is listed as a trusted package, with the oldest available version being 1.4.422 (added in December 2020): https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/kdeconnect-kde#versionhistory https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/kdeconnect-kde#ver... Would you mind filing a bug report in KDE's bug tracker for the issue you experienced, if it hasn't already been reported? https://bugs.kde.org https://bugs.kde.org
- jjbinx007 3y agoThank you, that's interesting to know. And yes, I will.
- g8oz 3y agoI had the same experience until I rolled back the Windows display zoom from 150% back to 100%. It does make using the app a chore and I end up using it less than I would otherwise.
- jjbinx007 3y agoAh so that's the culprit. I should have thought of trying that! I'm using a 1440p screen on a 15" laptop so I'm definitely not running at 100% zoom except for certain known apps that demand it. I'll try that and add it to the bug report.
