[SOLVED] Wierd interface of applications after update

Hey archers!

Some time ago (1 month or so), after pacman -Syu, most of my GUI apps began to look ugly (chromium, gimp etc), but some of them looks like before (firefox).

Chromium as an example:

I have reinstalled arch and the problem on the fresh system with the an empty config folder still here. Does anybody has faced with the same thing?

I use wayland (hyprland) btw.

Looks like its badly upscaled and sounds like it's xwayland related?
You'll have to be a bit more specific about the environment, in particular your display server, for chromium try to use the native wayland mode (iff this is a wayland compositor), https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chromi … nd_support
