|

compositors.

XWayland currently looks pixelated on HiDPI screens, due to Xorg's inability to
|
|
|
|
|
scale.

This problem is mitigated by the [`xwayland:force_zero_scaling`](../../Configuring/Variables/#xwayland)
|
|
|
|
|
option, which forces XWayland windows not to be scaled.

This will get rid of the pixelated look, but will not scale applications
|
|
|
|
|
properly. To do this, each toolkit has its own mechanism.

The GDK_SCALE variable won't conflict with Wayland-native GTK programs.
