Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen. Please link any large code pastes as a Github Gist

Steam interface size is not bad as is but when enabling the scaling option the client sizing is huge with large icons an fonts similar to what you expect if your resolution was @ 640x480. When enabling this setting I expect the steam to scale with respect to the scale setting in the KDE plasma display configuration.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Resolution is @ 1440p with display configuration for global scale @ 118.75%

  1. Enable Settings->Interface->Scale text and icons to match monitor settings (requires restart)
