signal-desktop does not support fractional scaling on wayland #6913
Comments
@cuu508 can you run an Electron Fiddle and see if you can reproduce the issue? Thanks! |
I installed electron-fiddle_0.36.3_amd64.deb. Running it with no arguments, I get blurry UI (Electron Fiddle on top, GNOME Terminal below as comparison): If I run it with Unlike signal-desktop, the UI shows up on the first launch, and the app icon is correct in Alt+Tab and app overview views. |
Same issue on Fedora Workstation 40 (wayland and using 150% fractional scaling). This seems to be an issue on flatpaks that don't support Wayland natively and rely on XWayland (source). @cuu508 I managed to get rid of this issue by editing my signal-desktop flatpak to run with the following flags: Really wish this was the default for Wayland environments until Wayland is not supported natively. Update: It was becoming a nightmare updating these run options on a per-app basis so the temporary solution I've found is to tweak the scaling factor on gnome-tweaks to 1.25 and keep the resolution scale at 100% on gnome-settings. Apps are not blurry anymore. |
The Flatpak maintainers already did all that work. This is from the Readme:

Using a supported version?
Overall summary
I am using Ubuntu 24.04, GNOME 46, Wayland windowing system, Intel integrated graphics.
I'm using fractional scaling with 150% scale.
I've installed signal-desktop 7.12.0 from Signal's apt repository. When I launch signal-desktop, the app runs and UI elements have reasonable size, but all of the UI slightly blurry.
There are tips floating around to use
signal-desktop --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
and also how to put together~/.local/share/applications/signal-desktop.desktop
with the same flags.When I use this workaround I get sharp UI, but I also see several new issues:
