Describe the bug

Text and other graphics look blurry using the app. I'm using Wayland with a built-in laptop screen and an external monitor. The external monitor is a 4K display with fractional scaling set to 150%.

When I have the window on the external monitor, the app looks blurry. When I have the window on the laptop screen (scaling 100%) it looks fine.

Expected behavior

I want text to look crisp, like when using a browser. Other Electron apps (e.g. Slack) do not seem to have this problem.

Screenshots

This is because Zulip is running in XWayland. Native Wayland support in Chromium and Electron apps is still experimental, but you can enable it by passing the arguments --ozone-platform-hint=auto --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations.
