Stubborn Software Won't Resize Window

Hello everyone, as the title says, I have a stubborn piece of software named Resolve and it just will not resize under any circumstances as far as my knowledge goes. The issue is that while maximized, the window is too big and does not fit into my screen. When not maximized it is still too big + it refuses to resize. Also Resolve seems to have no options for full screen except for actually watching the editor viewer.

I'm using Kwin btw. And I would greatly appreciate if anyone knew a way to force the resizing, or force it fitting the screen or maybe even have it fullscreen as this would perhaps sidestep the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Change dpi 49 to 96
Arandr, ore system settings or

sudo nvidia-settings

What method do you use for resizing the window?

Try holding the super key and drag the window edges with right-click on your mouse.

Ok so this worked, but only for making the window bigger, the smaller it gets is the original size which is not fit.

Alright so xrandr did me nothing (upon sudo xrandr --dpi 96), the system settings don’t even have a dpi option as well as the nvidia settings. So I’m either completely clueless about all of this or they didn’t really work out. Is there any other way to change dpi or am I just using the wrong command?

Oh I would've never guessed that that option messes with the dpi. Regardless it seemly didn't do anything? My screen seems a tad more sharp, but the dpi output is still the same. What now?
