Application blurred on Wayland with HiDPI scale

See original GitHub issue

Your Environment

Version used: 7.6.0 (AUR package superproductivity-bin)
Operating System and version: archlinux on linux 5.10.75
Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma 5
Browser Name and version: N/A

Expected Behavior

The application should not be blurred.

Current Behavior

Everything is blurred: text, images (icons), etc. Looks like scaling from 100% to 200%, rather than natively supporting scaling on Wayland. It works correctly on X11 with 200% scale, though.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Start DE on Wayland sessions, with scale set to 200% (for HiDPI)
Start SuperProductivity

@renyuneyun It will probably launch it without window decorations because electron doesn’t have support for them on wayland natively, but could you try launching the app like this:

superproductivity --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

And see if it looks ok at least? I don’t have a HiDPI display to test, but with those flags it should run natively on Wayland instead of XWayland

The truth is that Wayland is pretty usable and pretty close to becoming the default for most things desktop related.

But Electron support for Wayland is still a work in progress. As long as Electron dependency updated from time to time, there isn’t much to be done on this specific app.

@johannesjo https://github.com/johannesjo I’m not sure if that is still the case now. As far as I know, DEs and distros are / have been switching to Wayland.

Gnome has been using Wayland as the default option for quite some time; KDE plan to make “Wayland shine” https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=KDE-2022-Roadmap in its roadmap for 2022. Ubuntu started to ship with Wayland by default since 21.04 https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2021/01/ubuntu-21-04-will-use-wayland-by-default; Fedora was using Wayland by default since Fedora 25 https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/configuring-xorg-as-default-gnome-session/ (in 2016; of course, probably because of Gnome).

And from personal experience, I experience some graphics bugs on X11, while they did not appear in Wayland. Of course, Wayland has its own issues on my machine…
