Blurry notification/Hi-DPI

Open ewwhash opened this issue 3 years ago • 13 comments

Using mako i got very strange behaviour: all the time i receive notifications, first notification gets blurry, but reloading sway/using slurp/getting another notification and all the notifications are no longer blurry. 20211006_04h18m49s_grim 20211006_04h19m00s_grim

I'm using a Hi-DPI laptop, and of course with output eDP-1 scale 1 everything works fine.

I don't know how can it help but i replaced scale to constant (2) in wayland.c and everything renders perfectly.

I have the same issue. Can you share a diff, so I can at least use this as a workaround?

EDIT: I solved it. I think what the reportor means is that if the initial scale is identical to your scaling factor instead of one, the blurriness disappears. The value is found on line 565 in wayland.c.

Thanks, BrightYC

@trobjo-telia I glad it helped. By the way, doesn't the cursor is blurry too? Like you are dragging mouse inside notifications and cursor inside the notification looks blurry. Seems like mako doesn't respect XCURSOR_SIZE or smth 🤔

Yes, that is true, even with your "fix" the cursor is still blurry when hovering over the notification.

Today I've got really weird behavior:

  1. restart mako
  2. notify-send a message. it works as expected (shown, hidpi)
  3. click to dismiss
  4. notify-send another message. nothing appears
  5. makoctl reload. the notification appears, but blurry.
  6. issue some more reloads. it probably will become hidpi.

The two issues (not shown and blurry) just seem to happen to me randomly. No clue what to do next.

I've sent a pull request to address both blurry text and cursor. Could you give it a try?

lilydjwg avatar Nov 23 '21 07:11 lilydjwg

I have tested it now. You pull request fixes the issue for me!

I have tested it too, your PR fixes this issue!
