Consider using gtk3 backend for wxwidget on Linux
Posted: Fri Mar 25, 2022 2:48 pm
Hello,
I'm using OWM on Linux and it seems like you're using wxWidgets with the GTK+ 2 backend. Would it be possible for you to upgrade to the GTK+ 3 backend for Linux ( https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/page_port.html ) ?
For example, GTK+ 2 doesn't have particularily good support of HiDPI screens, like my laptop's internal one, so whenever I'm using OWM on my internal screen, I manually lower the screen's resolution so everything looks correctly scaled (though unfortunately slightly blurry). Upgrading to GTK+ 3 should allow me to use OWM on my HiDPI screen without any hacks, as GTK+ 3 HiDPI support is generally pretty good.
