[SOLVED] Blurriness at 125% scale

Destinyblade · 07-23-2021, 05:15 AM

I am running Fedora rn with 1920x1080 resolution display. 100% scale looks too small for me so I enabled 125% and now applications like steam and discord are looking very blurry.

I can get used to 100% scale but I would prefer to use 125% if possible

Don't scale, increase font size instead. Or, even better, increase DPI settings.

I couldn't understand what the page was saying.

what does this mean? "for i in 1 2;do" - "xrandr --fbmm `xrandr | sed -n '/ connected / {s/.* \([0-9]\+\)mm x \([0-9]\+\)mm/\1x\2/p;q}'`". I ran that and nothing happened and I don't know what that is supposed to do.

I found a much easier and simpler solution.I installed Gnome tweaks and set the font scale to 1.30 and it all looks good enough for me without any blurriness

^ good.

Run xrdb -query | grep dpi in an X terminal and you'll probably see that Gnome tweaks has set Xft.dpi to 125 or so. Most scaling tools use Xft.dpi as the means to use DPI as a scaling factor.
