--- Comment #3 from Jos van den Oever <j...@vandenoever.info> ---
The linked Wayland protocol issue (47) has suggestions for adding per window
scaling via additions such as `wanted_scale`, `set_client_scale`,
`setting_client_scale`. Since the current method of scaling is blurry and
resource intensive I hope that these additions will be picked up soon.

E.g. if you have a 4k display with 1.25 scaling, the current scaling method on
Wayland would give a 6144x3456 (4k / 1.25 * 2) buffer to a fullscreen
application such as the always-present desktop background. That is a buffer
that is 2.56x as large as a 4k buffer. Not fun. So Wayland has a big incentive
to fix 47.

The proposed additions could be used to implement this scale-by-dragging
feature. Or vice-versa, this feature request could be one more reason to have
those Wayland additions. Scaling windows up and down by dragging makes for
wonderfully visual demo material besides simply being very handy.

Perhaps it's easier to first implement it on X11.
