XWayland Views are pixelated when Display is scaled

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Applications launched under XWayland are pixelated.

Do you guys experience the same issue?

Yeah that's an X issue. X does not have a sensible notion of display scale (one that supports mixed-dpi setups). Check the issues on sways GitHub for more information.

In the end: XWayland views should appear on newm the same way they do on sway and that's as good as it gets for legacy software. If there is a difference compared to sway, I'm happy to take a look.

Oh yes I forgot about this issue on sway...
