blurry applications

Post by GizMo79 »

After updating to Wine 9.17, many (but not all) of the applications I use appear with a blurred window and all the fonts are fuzzy. Is this a bug, or do I need to adjust some settings? I have set the resolution to 120 DPI. At 96 DPI, everything is in focus, but the elements are too small. They used to look perfect at 120 DPI.

Code: Select all


Window surface scaling on High DPI displays.

and how do I turn this thing off? the applications before were perfect, clear, with well-defined and legible fonts, now everything is blurry and ugly, I had to set everything to 96dpi but the 96 fonts are small.

They say the feature mimics Windows' behavior, but to me, they must have been smoking something strong because I've never seen Windows blur windows like that. I downgraded to version 9.16 and blocked the update, hoping they'll come to their senses and realize the huge mistake they've made. I'm quite annoyed because, instead of introducing new bugs, they could work on completing old libraries that have been incomplete for years... I reported that ALL Visual Basic applications can't display the icon in KDE's task manager, and they ignore it... oleaout32 is still incomplete, and for certain applications, you have to install dcom98... why don't they focus on finishing all the half-done things instead of breaking the ones that work?
