Blurry on 2k display

[etherbiswas]

Dock icons appear blurry hard to see in the image but it is very pixelated when not using something like 1920x1080p, this is noticeable on 2560x1600p

One of my monitors is 2K, and the icons are sharp as a razor. They may be blurry if you use fractional scaling, but this is the problem of GTK and Wayland. I can do nothing about it.

as you can see no fractional scaling in my hyprland config

github isnt updating;

monitor=DP-1,preferred,auto,2
monitor=DP-2,preferred,auto,1

# unscale XWayland
xwayland {
  force_zero_scaling = true
}

# toolkit-specific scale
env = GDK_SCALE,2
env = XCURSOR_SIZE,32
exec-once = brightnessctl set 30%
exec-once = nwg-panel
exec-once = nwg-dock-hyprland -x
exec-once = hyprpaper

this should not be in the fractional scaling category?

With monitor scale: 2.00 icons appear blurry, indeed - even if it's not a fractional scaling. But there's nothing I could do about it.

After a short investigation: we could achieve sharp icons on scaled displays by giving up on icon size in pixels and gdk.Pixbuf. We would need to always use predefined icon sizes:

const (
    ICON_SIZE_INVALID       IconSize = C.GTK_ICON_SIZE_INVALID
    ICON_SIZE_MENU          IconSize = C.GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU
    ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR IconSize = C.GTK_ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR
    ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR IconSize = C.GTK_ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR
    ICON_SIZE_BUTTON        IconSize = C.GTK_ICON_SIZE_BUTTON
    ICON_SIZE_DND           IconSize = C.GTK_ICON_SIZE_DND
    ICON_SIZE_DIALOG        IconSize = C.GTK_ICON_SIZE_DIALOG
)

This is quite a fundamental and limiting change, that would need to be applied to all my stuff, not only the dock. I am not sure if I want to go into it for just a single issue reported.

Also: gtk menus will still appear blurred. :/
