Blurry UI in Wayland with fractional scaling

[pjautuvas]

Please add Wayland support. The application is too blurry on a laptop with Gnome 42 Wayland session and 150% scaling.

Please add some details about your environment and some pictures.
I haven't had any problems on wayland with 100% scaling so it might just be a scaling issue.

this is a pretty common problem with fractional scaling and wayland. I'm not sure what else can be added to the issue. using fractional scaling and a non integer scaling will result in blurry visuals because it basically just upscales the 100% app to 150%.

you can "fix" this by running electron in wayland mode
./tidal-hifi --verbose --log=TRACE --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

but you lose window decorations doing so, aside from that it seems to work okay? I don't know enough about this to say what should be done about the window decorations

update, adding --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations kind of gets you somewhere, but the menubar draws all over the electron window decorators

Good discovery @gordallott will try this for other apps as well.

FYI Slack flatpak is working fine with --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations

See this gist for some tips regarding fractional scaling.

I am having this issue with Fedora (Gnome) on Wayland.

Adding the --ozone-platform-hint=auto and --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations flags fix the issues with Chromium and VSCodium (both flatpak versions) but have no effect on Tidal-HiFi.

Is it something to do with the version of Electron?

I think ozone platform being set to auto is a good first step for this issue
