--- Comment #4 from Eamonn Rea <eamonn...@protonmail.com> --- In case I am still not being clear enough, as I am having some trouble knowing if I'm articulating the problem correctly, here's a visual representation of the issue. I hope it serves to show that while the window *sizing* is correct, the window contents look significantly worse when an X11 application is downscaled when the "Apply scaling themselves" option is used. https://i.postimg.cc/MZLqg6Fk/Screenshot-20231101-215050.png The example here is with a Qt6 application called ProtonUp-Qt. On the left is the program running using Wayland, running from source. On the right is the Flatpak version of the tool, running with the Wayland socket disabled so it's forced to use X11. The text looks significantly worse when downscaled, more blocky and sometimes even blurry in some programs. The issue is not specific to ProtonUp-Qt, it happens with any application I can apply scaling to. Heck, even without a scale factor applied, the applications do not simply look like they're running too small on unscaled displays, they are smaller when they can't apply scaling themselves, but they also still look a little bit blocky/blurry. When both the Wayland and X11 versions of the application are running on the scaled display, aside from some font differences as a result of one running from source and one running on Flatpak, they look virtually indistinguishable even when zooming in: https://i.postimg.cc/4xgdF4Yf/Screenshot-20231101-215645.png What I'm really hoping to illustrate here is that the window sizing isn't an issue, because applications can scale themselves just fine or have a flag I can set, but that when this flag is set, application *contents* is what looks off. Hope that makes sense! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
