Fuzzy (Low Res) Text in Tilix

[ThinkDigitalSoftware]

The text in my terminal window is Fuzzy looking. I tried changing the font with no results. You can tell it's distinctively less sharp than the text in the title of the Window. Any way to fix this? Hint: It's easier to see if you click the photo to open in a new tab and then click to zoom.

That screenshot looks odd since the terminal title in the drop-down button also looks fuzzy. Does it look the same or better with gnome-terminal and are you using the same font family and size in both terminals?

Also, does switching to the Adwaita theme make any difference?

[ThinkDigitalSoftware]

Yeah and the icons. I just matched the font, size, theme and changed to Adwaita

and it's still fuzzy.

What distro are you using and what version of tilux? This seems weird to me since both gnome-terminal and tilix are using the same VTE widget.

In dconf-editor under com/gexperts/Tilix can you try changing transparency to false from true and restart Tilix, it's one of the few things I can think of that could be different between the two.

Looks better on my XFCE Desktop on my other computer

It was the transparency. Thank you. I set it back to it's default value. I think the pokemon theming program may have changed it. That's the reason I stumbled upon Tilix in the first place. It didn't end up working. I saw something about Kanto in the custom string for that value, so I assume that's what changed it.

I compared tilix to gnome-terminal on my system with transparency enabled and it looks pretty good in comparison to yours. I suspect the transparency is changing something about font rendering on your system but I'm not sure what.

What distribution are you running? Also, if you have another terminal that supports transparency on the machine with bad rendering does it look the same or better then tilix?

Here's a screenshot from my system.

I think it was a bad attempt at configuration my another program. I'll try enabling it again without the customization and see if it looks better.

[ThinkDigitalSoftware]

Ok. Transparency stayed enabled. It was actually the background image that I had disabled in dconf earlier

Thanks for the update, closing issue.
