HDIPI scaling on xwayland applications is messed sometimes after restart

[haShinui]

Hello so I like this script a lot and the hyprland. So I first did a manual install of hyprland which failed miserably and then used this script. I turned out ok but I didnt like the look to much and I needed hdpi hyrpland and it worked okon there, same goes here. I stumbled upon this script and I liked the looks way more and I was setting it up trying to use my framework fingerprint, which works on my test hyprland with the other script and on kde. So no reason shouldnt work here, I did it the same as shown here and adding this line auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so on my test hyprland worked but not here. So I de installed and reinstalled it sddm-git and did fix it. I also encountered some problems with fprintd that once I enrolled it and use fprintd-verify I needed to do it in sudo privileges. I even changed the files like they look in my my test hyprland and did not help. I trying to figure out but I dont know the problem, if you have any Idea please help.

Also how do I change that when I open a file sometimes it open in vscode, example is broot opens files in vscodium, after deinstall it doesnt open at all. I want to use vim export VISUAL=/usr/bin/vim and that code does not work for some reason, sae goes for export EDITOR=..... I also de installed vscodium and now not working at all.

Are you trying to open file in vim from dolphin? if so, you have to set the default terminal as kitty in ~/.config/kdeglobals as below

[General]
TerminalApplication=kitty

Regarding the HDPI scaling, are you using auto config? If so, you could try hardcoding the monitor variables as suggested in wiki - https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Monitors/

Thanks, dolphine was the problem. Now its goes over vim. But I set the resolution at the beginning, I have framework laptop so resolution is a bit wierd, but still its weird that scaling is changing sometimes after restart. Here is part of my hyprland.conf: `# change monitor to hires, the last argument is the scale factor monitor=DP-1,highres,2256x1504@60,2

sets xwayland scale

exec-once=xprop -root -f _XWAYLAND_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_SCALE 32c -set _XWAYLAND_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_SCALE 2 #

toolkit-specific scale

env = GDK_DPI_SCALE,0.5

env = GDK_SCALE,1.5

env = GDK_DPI_SCALE,0.5

env = XCURSOR_SIZE,32

env = MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND,1

Also I have another question to waybar. So I wanted to configure the tray in the middle where it displays the windows your on and the name and logo of the application. First I want to customize the first thing is that when you are in the termnial it should show the logo, but when I have nvim open, it should instead show the nvim logo. With that I come to my second issue, how to I show the nvim logo when I use nvim, I am not sure how exactly I should do it. I got it working with waybar as show in screenshot. Also the focus is on the right because I have started up waybar there. But when I try this (.*)nvim or (.*)nvim:(.*) it doesn't work. And my third qustion is to figure out if I can replace the arch logo when I have another application in use. If I figure any of these steps out on my own I will edit this post

[prasanthrangan]

maybe you could try this for waybar -

    "hyprland/window": {
        "format": "{}",
        "separate-outputs": true,
        "rewrite": {
            "tittu@kryptonite:(.*)": "  $1",
            "(.*) — Mozilla Firefox": " 󰈹 $1",
            "(.*)Mozilla Firefox": " 󰈹 Firefox",
            "(.*) - Visual Studio Code": " 󰨞 $1",
            "(.*)Visual Studio Code": " 󰨞 Code",
            "(.*) — Dolphin": " 󰉋 $1",
            "(.*)Spotify": " 󰓇 Spotify",
            "(.*)Steam": " 󰓓 Steam",
            "nvim(.*)": " 󰕷 $1"
          }
    },

regarding the scaling, did this not work?

exec-once=xprop -root -f _XWAYLAND_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_SCALE 32c -set _XWAYLAND_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_SCALE 2

you could raise this to hyprland git issues.

So the exec-once=xprop -root -f _XWAYLAND_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_SCALE 32c -set _XWAYLAND_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_SCALE 2 does work I think but sometimes after restart the scale is just off or even it gets blurry fore some reason, so hdpi not working. Also thanks for waybar, I almost figured it out. I have a question, is it possible to have the logo of firefox for example where the arch logo is, but If O have nothing open or an application thats not in the rewite array, then it has the Arch logo. I know jsonc is based on java script but I cant use IF statement or if its even possible, if you have any idea let me know.

So I just commented almost all env variables, it still sometimes buggy but gonna live with it.
