Question about xorg-wayland on wayland

Some apps use xorg-wayland because they can't launch on wayland, these apps look blurry, is there any way to make them launch in high resolution?

Re: Question about xorg-wayland on wayland

What "wayland"?
gnome wayland or kde wayland or sway or weston or some other wayland server?

("Wayland" is a protocol, the reference display server implementation is weston. Saying "I use wayland" is like saying "I have a pet mammal" - could be hamster, could be an elephant.)

Re: Question about xorg-wayland on wayland

https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/2966 - no diea what that was closed.
https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/2 … -437355459 suggested a somewhat nasty workaround.
Then there's https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xse … ssues/1318 and ultimately you can try the patched https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sway-hidpi-git
