Re: [SOLVED] Gtk4 apps render problems after last gnome 46 update

Do the gtk4 clients behave the same in eg. an openbox session? (or icewm, anything that's not running a GL compositor)?

Re: [SOLVED] Gtk4 apps render problems after last gnome 46 update

I haven't tried openbox yet but made another interesting discovery.
When starting nautilus from a shell I get the following warning:

(org.gnome.Nautilus:3412): Gsk-WARNING **: 21:16:24.783: Unrecognized renderer "gl ". Try GSK_RENDERER=help

and starting nautilus after setting GSK_RENDERER=help the following options are offered

Supported arguments for GSK_RENDERER environment variable:
    broadway - Use the Broadway specific renderer
    cairo - Use the Cairo fallback renderer
    opengl - Use the OpenGL renderer
    gl - Use the OpenGL renderer
    ngl - Use the new OpenGL renderer
    vulkan - Use the Vulkan renderer
    help - Print this help

Other arguments will cause a warning and be ignored.

Setting GSK_RENDERER to vulkan, cairo or opengl then worked for me, but what is the best of these option to set as default?

Re: [SOLVED] Gtk4 apps render problems after last gnome 46 update

You have an accidental space which is why "gl " didn't work. If you have HW that needs this chances are gl/opengl is the only thing that'll logically work correctly without falling back to software
