GDM login screen scaling forced 125% issue

So...I am little bit confused about this issue where there seems to be no way to not force 125% scale on login screen.
Previously with Gnome 49 it seemed to not be an issue, but after an update desktop and login screen was reset to 125% scale. Setting back desktop scale is obvious, but what about login screen. It's goes over my head why in the holly of hells would anyone force 125% on login screen. Is that really a way to go these days to pray for not having forced settings/features in OS? I guess I was kinda pissed today in general, but this..oh lawd.
By now I haven't found any solutions to this...

After configuring it correctly in the normal session I'd hope that https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GDM#Se … r_settings would still work, does it not?

Well, you made my day. Thank you very much!
THIS DOES WORK!
I was poking in close vicinity though my "experiments" didnt work.
