element-hq
Blurry with fractional scaling enabled
Steps to reproduce
- Enable fractional scaling (my case 175%) on a Debian trixie wayland system
- Launch element desktop
- observe blurry text
Outcome
What did you expect?
To see clear text like any other app
What happened instead?
It was blurry not as sharp as other apps
Operating system
Debian Trixie (testing)
Application version
Element-versie: 1.11.89 Crypto version: Rust SDK 0.7.2 (2f872cf), Vodozemac 0.8.1
How did you install the app?
https://packages.element.io/debian
Homeserver
ghcr.io/element-hq/synapse:v1.121.1
Will you send logs?
Yes
As a workaround, I set ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=wayland in /etc/environment to make the app scale properly. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wayland#Environment_variable
@rom4nik this helped indeed. Would be nice if the app itself could detect and set it.
seems ok when starting element with these options:
--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
Doesn't work anymore with latest version (using Electron 38) - it seems like an Electron itself regression, see https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/41551.
