Wine apps like microsoft office become verry small in ui size when ever I have fractional scaling at 125%
Is there a solution to this? At least I wished I could use a lower resolution without my screen becoming blurry
" Exclude Wine Apps from Scaling
Excluding specific Wine apps from fractional scaling can be challenging because Wine does not natively support excluding individual applications from scaling settings. However, you can adjust the DPI settings for individual Wine prefixes to mitigate the issue. This involves configuring the DPI settings in the Wine configuration (winecfg) under the Graphics tab for each application's prefix.
For example, if you set the Wine DPI to a value suitable for 125% scaling, the font size will be too large when the scaling is set to 100%. To address this, you can adjust the DPI settings individually for each application or use a different scaling factor for each prefix.
Another workaround is to run Wine applications in desktop mode, which allows you to set a fixed resolution and avoid fullscreen issues. You can do this by running the application with the wine explorer /desktop=MyApp,800x600 "C:\\Program Files\\Your App\\app.exe"
command, where 800x600
is the resolution you want to set.
Additionally, you can explore using different scaling techniques for XWayland applications. Some users report success by setting the QT_QPA_PLATFORM
environment variable to wayland
for Qt apps, which can improve scaling and performance.
In summary, while direct exclusion of Wine apps from fractional scaling is not supported, you can manage scaling issues by adjusting DPI settings, using desktop mode, or configuring environment variables for specific applications.
