Add native Wayland support such that it doesn't need to be blurry on HiDPI devices #707
Comments
Thanks for the suggestions @proletarius101; I'll forward this over to our desktop and web app dev for review. 🙂 |
Some info about the current situation: The described blur only occurs when running with GNOME fractional scaling (e.g. 125% scaling not 200%) in Wayland, which is a somewhat experimental feature. Indeed native Wayland support solves that problem though. I see that linked thread is about wlroots, so maybe xwayland apps in HiDPI are always blurry there (so this fix is even more important there). You will notice on native Wayland in GNOME (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian) there will be no window decorations due to a lack of CSD (client side decorations) support in Electron. This is being worked on upstream. KDE Wayland and wlroots should not have that issue as they have SSD (server side decorations) support. Currently native Wayland support is not enabled by default in Electron 12, you'd have to pass |
Hi @vchernin, thank you for all of those details! I'll be sure to pass this along to the dev team. |
Adding that this is soon / now affecting larger numbers of users, now that Ubuntu 21.10 (releases Oct) and Debian 11 (released) and their derivatives are Wayland by default. |
Thanks for the reminder! I'll bring this up with the team again. |
What version of Electron is SN built on?
|
I'll get in touch with the dev team and let you know! |
Hello again @jacob-emery, sorry for the delayed response. The desktop app is built with version 9.4 of Electron. We plan to upgrade it to a newer version, though. |
@JaspalSuri thank you for the answer! Yeah, that is great news for us Linux enthusiasts :) |
You're very welcome! Hopefully we'll be able to use more recent versions without it breaking too many things. |
Another upstream bug to be fixed: electron/electron#33355 |
Upstream fix released. @JaspalSuri can you help with updating |
Hi @proletarius101, I’m currently not part of the SN team. CC @moughxyz Thanks for the notification! |
Wayland support added in the Flatpak version: flathub/org.standardnotes.standardnotes#89 |
