--- Comment #2 from Marc Streckfuß <marc.streckf...@gmail.com> --- After reading through the patch, I think deferring the scaling to X11 could even remove all the downsides of the previous patch (it would work on all applications), but might introduce it's own set of problems: With my suggestion, all screens run at the same dpi and thus have their virtual space, this means panning and scales and fonts etc is all according to the highest DPI. For overlapping windows, there are no corner-cases, they just use the high DPI, as essentially all windows have the same DPI. X11 will then take the contents and scale the pixels down, this means the windows have the same size on all screens. Downside I see is: The applications all render at a higher resolution than needed, thus have an additional load. Then the scaling process might be lossy, so it looks worse than without a multi monitor setup. As such, images might get upscaled to the high resolution and X11 scales them down again. I have the feeling that my lower dpi monitor does look worse than it used before, but I guess we can't take that as true, as I never had a comparison and now that I got a better display, I can directly compare them and see how "bad" it really was. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
