Plasma 5.27 - GTK apps - fractional scaling - X11

neuromante@feddit.it to Linux@lemmy.ml – 5 points –

I’m running the latest plasma with X11 (Arch). Fractional scaling is working fine with all the qt based apps but I’m experiencing size issues with gtk apps (Lutris or VMware for ex.). Fonts are rendered ok but scaling is not correctly applied to window and icons (titlebar is too small). Is there some kind of workaround? Under wayland things were running smoothly. Thanks

Qt has native support of fractional scaling both on X11 and wayland (wp-fractional-scale)

On the other hand GTK3/4 only support integer scaling. So on wayland it's they are basically rendered at x2 and downscaled to your fractional scale factor.

I get it. So there’s no workaround if understand correctly…
