# HiDPI XWayland ## HiDPI XWayland
XWayland currently looks pixelated/blurry on HiDPI screens, due to Xorg's XWayland currently looks pixelated on HiDPI screens, due to Xorg's inability to
inability to scale. scale.
There are attempts to add a standard scaling mechanism, such as
[MR 733](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/733).
You can use this MR's wlroots implementation in Hyprland by making a few changes. This problem is mitigated by the [`xwayland:force_zero_scaling`](../../Configuring/Variables/#xwayland)
option, which forces XWayland windows not to be scaled.
{{< hint >}} This will get rid of the pixelated look, but will not scale applications
The following instructions assume you know how to patch programs, either properly. To do this, each toolkit has its own mechanism.
manually or using your favourite package manager.
See instructions for [manual patching](https://www.howtogeek.com/415442/how-to-apply-a-patch-to-a-file-and-create-patches-in-linux/)
and [Pacman patching](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Patching_packages).
{{< /hint >}}
1. Have the latest `xwayland` package patched with at least
[the HiDPI patch](https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/blob/main/nix/patches/xwayland-hidpi.patch)
(based on the MR's implementation, but updated).
2. Make sure you have the required Hyprland `wlroots`, patched with
[the HiDPI xwayland patch](https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/blob/main/nix/patches/wlroots-hidpi.patch)
and [this commit](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/commit/18595000f3a21502fd60bf213122859cc348f9af)
**reverted**. This is important, as not reverting it will make opening
XWayland programs crash Hyprland.
3. Add these lines to your configuration:
```ini ```ini
# change monitor to high resolution, the last argument is the scale factor
# change monitor to hires, the last argument is the scale factor
monitor=,highres,auto,2 monitor=,highres,auto,2
# sets xwayland scale # unscale XWayland
exec-once=xprop -root -f _XWAYLAND_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_SCALE 32c -set _XWAYLAND_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_SCALE 2 xwayland {
force_zero_scaling = true
}
# toolkit-specific scale # toolkit-specific scale
env = GDK_SCALE,2 env = GDK_SCALE,2
env = XCURSOR_SIZE,32 env = XCURSOR_SIZE,32
``` ```
{{< hint >}} The GDK_SCALE variable won't conflict with Wayland-native GTK programs.

The `hyprland-hidpi` Nix package includes a patched wlroots that can render See [XWayland](../../Configuring/XWayland).
HiDPI XWayland windows.
In order to enable HiDPI when using the NixOS or Home Manager modules, you can
set `programs.hyprland.xwayland.hidpi = true`, or
`wayland.windowManager.hyprland.xwayland.hidpi = true`, respectively.
Now that the required package to achieve HiDPI is installed, an XWayland
instruction is needed to set the scale:
```toml
exec-once = xprop -root -f _XWAYLAND_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_SCALE 32c -set _XWAYLAND_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_SCALE 2
```
This will make XWayland programs look as if they were unscaled. To fix this, you
have to set different environment variables to make the specific toolkits
render at the proper scaling. For example, add this to your `hyprland.conf`:
```ini
env = GDK_SCALE,2
env = XCURSOR_SIZE,48
```

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