SDDM screen resolution

Hi!
My screen resolution is 1920x1080. When I set any SDDM theme, at the login screen there seems to be a different resolution. Everything in the ui looks zoomed, the buttons are too big and I can see pixels in every icon. Then after login evreything goes back to normal, I mean the resolution is correct. I've tried changing the sddm dpi as shown is the arch wiki, but nothing happens. I hope someone can help me. Thanks

To make the helping a bit easier:  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855
In this case the hardware info (GPU etc...) and logs could help.

Have you tried: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SDDM -> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SDDM#DPI_settings
and
https://github.com/sddm/sddm -> https://github.com/sddm/sddm#custom-dpi

Re: SDDM screen resolution

Had a similar issue. Solved by installing https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sddm-git and disabling HiDPI in /etc/sddm.conf

For details refer to https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/692
