text too small - almost forgot

[Jim]

I opened system settings, clicked startup and shutdown.  The first 
option on the top left is Login Screen (SDDM).  I click that and the 
advanced tab shows.  I click it, but there's no settings synchronization 
button.  I have Plasma 5.12.9.    You can see what I do have under the 
advanced tab here https://ibb.co/3snzX6Y
