[SOLVED] i3wm - Parts from browser blurry

Hi everyone,

I am new to i3 (actually installed it today) and i got a question about the fonts in e.g. Chromium.
The fonts in Chromium are little blurry, but only the fonts in the tab title, address bar and the titles of my
bookmarks in the bookmark bar. The fonts on websites are all ok. Maybe i'm missing something, but in Xfce
everything is still sharp. Maybe it's some kind of anti-aliasing?.

Does anyone got a idea what I could do?

Thanks in advance

Marcus

If you don't mind running an extra daemon, you could try running "xfsettingsd". Put the following in your i3 config file:

   

exec --no-startup-id xfsettingsd

and restart i3 (relogin or reboot).

I had the same problem with chromium in all tabs.

xrandr --dpi 96x96

and restarting the browser helped for me.
