NORMAL label in top right of some applications

I've managed to get a label saying "NORMAL" in top right corner of certain applications. How do I get rid of it?

Example Spotify:

Solution 1:

screenshot of option that caused this Disable this setting, and it's gone. Think a reboot is required as well.

Solution 2:

I'm was facing the same issue, not sure what actually triggered it. I'm using KDE with a Nvidia 2070 on driver 440.31

I fixed it, but I don't know how. I did several things at once:

  • I messed with the Display settings in KDE.
  • Moved the scaling option
  • Enabled my laptop screen and disabled it.
  • In my nvidia settings I made sure any displaying of G-SYNC or graphics API labelling was unchecked.

I basically changed the settings and changed them back to hopefully have those settings reapplied. Then I restarted and I don't see the label any more.

The restart might be the most important part.
