Rounded Keyboard theme from CSSLoader makes the keyboard's side go off the screen.
Not sure if this is an issue with the theme, CSSLoader, or Bazzite, so I'm opening this here since I'm kinda stumped on where to ask. (and I have yet to get an answer in the CSSLoader server for over a day now, so.)

On SteamOS this wasn't an issue, so my best guess is Bazzite increases the size of the keyboard while in Desktop mode for some reason.
I fixed that by changing the display scale in desktop mode to 100%. Mine was set to 185% or something
Not sure why a theme is affected by that. The Gamemode UI doesn't have a scale setting afaik, so in that the keyboard is fine no matter KDE's scale.
And afaik SteamOS does have an increased KDE scale iirc.
Im pretty sure KDE scales stuff to 125% by default, and this does affect steam keyboard in desktop mode, so you need to manually rescale
On the deck images
Ah. Not sure why CSSLoader respects the KDE scale though, seems a bit silly imo.
I installed bazzite-deck thrice on the steam deck in multiple occasions and that always happened
It's not a cssloader issue, it's a steam BPM issue in desktop mode
Ah. Can Bazzite fix this in some way, or do I have to just deal with it?
Change KDE scaling to 100%
If you havent
Did that. Not a fan of the small panel though, and I suck at KDE customization.
Another alternative is open steam BPM in desktop mode (not gaming mode), then return back to do your thing again. This time the keyboard should return to the correct scaling, but you have to do this every time you go to desktop mode
Ugh... That's annoying lol.
Yeah i'm not familiar with KDE myself, i'm a big gnome person. But a lot of ppl use KDE here, so you can definitely get good advice
Blame Steam/Valve, i had this one annoying issue where the keyboard would float in the middle of my deck screen
Scaling is correct, but it floats in the vertical middle 😠talk about being in the way
Most people use KDE since its what SteamOS uses plus its what Windows users will prefer rather then Gnome's wacky cursed attempt at MacOS.
Tbh i think gnome only looks like macOS from a glance. After using it for 3 years I just can't imagine anything other than gnome working for a busy computer user (me)
But either way the keyboard stuff is steam's responsibility
Or kde, since i never got the scaling bug on gnome lol
Would be nice if Bazzite would make the BPM keyboard in desktop ignore KDE's scale.
Doubt that's possible though.
