Blurry text in Chromium /Electron apps after installing Chrome from Bazaar
My Chromium apps' (vscode, discord, steam, etc.) text became very blurry after installing Chrome from the Bazaar store.
Reading online it seems the Chromium/Electron apps need a special flag to enforce them to use Wayland (
--ozone-platform-hint=wayland). After modifying some of the shortcuts with this flag, the blurriness goes away.
But my question is, how do I set it as the default for all Chromium apps? Or how do I make it global, again? Something obviously changed when I installed Chrome. So how do I get back to the way it was pre-Chrome installation?6 Replies
try to change the scaling options in display settings
Why would that change it? My scaling did not change pre-Chrome installation to post-Chrome installation.
idk just try changing it, it might work
since I'm not sure if your apps are running on xwayland or not
should be something like X11 scaling options - tell apps to scale themselves or something like that
or if they are wayland, then maybe they just don't support fractional scaling yet
adding
ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=wayland in /etc/environment seems to have fixed it
But I still don't know why installing Chrome broke it in the first place. Obviously it changed some default behaviour somewhere.eh idk
I have same problem, this works for me
Note: My screen scale is 200%
Steam is being the same, but VSCode fixed, which is the most important.
