1. sure it's satty?
2. on what wayland compositor?

https://github.com/Satty-org/Satty/issues/240
3. fractional scaling?

1. I am not 100% sure
2. hyprland
3. I did not understand what you mean

1. become sure and run satty from an interactive shell
2. test eg. sway or weston
3. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hyprla … resolution / https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Adva … al-scaling

who are you and why do people ask you privately for help and how is it possible to have over 75000 posts?

what are the test results?

1. $ grim -g "$(slurp)" - | satty --config /dev/null --filename -

(satty:11753): Adwaita-WARNING **: 21:21:32.273: Using GtkSettings:gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme with libadwaita is unsupported. Please use AdwStyleManager:color-scheme instead.

this is how gemini told me to run in interactive shell. Gemini the AI confirms it is the problem with satty

2. I tested in swat the black border is still there.

3.I have not finished reading wiki because I was running satty in interactive shell. I was wondering if you could ask me the entire question of fractional scaling. I am not very good at english

5hridhyan · 2026-05-10 16:22:39

Are you using display scaling like 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x instead of normal 1x or 2x?
run `hyprctl monitors` and paste the out put in # code tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode
we need to see "what scaling is set at", and want to know if changing it helps on the issue...

Based on what?
The cause is much more likely grim, possibly it's capturing slurp - you're just using satty to display/edit the screenshot
Perfectly fits https://github.com/Satty-org/Satty/issues/363

GEO="$(slurp)"; sleep 0.1; grim -g "$GEO" /tmp/foo.png

Then check /tmp/foo.png w/ some random image viewer and also

satty --config /dev/null --filename /tmp/foo.png

Is https://www.deepl.com/en/translator good at your native tongue?

i don't know where to post in the link you provided

seth · 2026-05-10 16:49:08

Put [code][/code] around the output.
There's link to edit your post in its lower right corner.

But it's not the scale.

Surtrz · 2026-05-11 16:22:25

I fixed it by adding this line in hyprland config. This syntax is for version 0.54.0

layerrule = match:namespace selection, no_anim true

or you can add

layerrule = match:class selector, no_anim on

this was a problem with hyprland.
The syntax for lua which is used in hyprland from verion 0.55.0

local no_anim = {
        "selection",
        "quickshell",
        "walker", "waybar",
        "hyprpicker",
}

for _, layer in ipairs(no_anim) do
        hl.layer_rule({
                match = { namespace = layer },
                no_anim = true,
        })
end

I am not using hyprland 0.55.0 because it is not on the repo yet so I have not tested the lua code.

local no_anim = {
…

Ie. grim picked up the residuals of slurp because hyprland fades it out.
