I don't remember when I stopped, but nowadays the standard profiles seem to do a pretty good job of separating Gnome from KDE. If I say "USE=-gtk emerge -upDvN world" I get 11 packages to be reinstalled, including kde-plasma/systemsettings. It may be worthwhile reinstalling that one with USE=gtk to see what happens. > In the last few years higher and higher screen resolutions make font size > too small to read, especially as the users are getting older too! ;-) Tell me about it! It's a constant struggle for me, especially while browsing the web. It seems that site designers can't, or won't, take account of a user's need to set a large minimum font size. > Thanks for the pointer. I hope it turns out well. -- Regards, Peter.

I have been setting USE="-gtk" in make.conf since 2003-4 from what I recall.
Perhaps this is the cause of my problem. It blocks some packages which would
be installed as a default in a Gnome based system, but are missing from my
builds.
In the last few years higher and higher screen resolutions make font size too
small to read, especially as the users are getting older too! ;-)
Thanks for the pointer.

You see gtk in there; it's reported globally by --info too, though I haven't
specified it myself; I suppose it comes from the plasma profile.
I don't know how to find out what determines the control panel applets you
have; maybe that's significant.
(BtW, thanks for not pointing out my spurious question mark. Sloppy editing
again.)

I use KDE but I don’t build with such flags because I think it makes the UI look silly. I think this makes UNO use the Gtk+ styles and I’ve never noticed the menu font size as different from other apps. Andrew

[gentoo-user] Menu font size in LibreOffice
Hi All, Any idea how I can increase the font size of Libre Office menus, on a plasma desktop? Using systemsettings5/fonts doesn't seem to work. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
