Text is blurry compared to Chrome 77 #1121

Hardware acceleration is ON on both apps. |

I'll have a play around with some setups here to see if I can reproduce. Are you using a super hidpi monitor? I'm not 100% sure this will make a difference, but if you try zooming in with Ctrl+Plus and Ctrl+- does that make any difference? |
No, my monitor is 24' with 1920x1080. No Windows built-in zoom, everything is 100%
No difference, I will add new screenshot with 110% |
|
And screenshot from latest Vivaldi browser based on Chromium 77. |
|
Thanks, I'll take a look |
|
Maybe this can help electron/electron#10025 |
|
@ToLive nice find! I've still not been able to reproduce here :-(. As for the fix suggested in 10025, the top-level window already has a background colour applied, but ther webview's don't at the moment. Would you be able to give this a quick try to see if it helps your end?
webview { background-color: #FFF !important; }
|
|
No, still the same( |
|
Additionally, what I already did with no success:
|
|
bump, this is an issue for me as well (windows 10, latest drivers). Slack text looks like sh!t compared to browser version. |
|
Yeah, my eyes are really hurting with this thing and I'm starting to use native apps :( Please, help me with this issue. I can give you any assistance, even connection with Teamviewer. |
|
Maybe this also help: mattermost/desktop#560 As I understand, CSS is not enough to fix this issue, it should be in the code in "new BrowserWindow()" |
|
@Thomas101 issue also present in WB10. I sent info to Susan. |
|
Vscode threads have some workarounds that can be helpful. As I understand issue is not Electron specific. |
|
@Thomas101 any update on this? Blurry text is still here and I really tired to hurt my eyes :( |
|
Hi, still not been able to reproduce this here and it still remains a mystery as to why Chrome vs Wavebox are different. One thing that may be worth checking, is there any difference in text rendering in the main Wavebox window, vs a new tabbed window in Wavebox? |
|
Hi!
It is not about only font. Take a look at the https://mockflow.com/#login
Look at company logo. Wavebox is in the center, Vivaldi is on the right, Chrome is on the left. |

|
@ToLive is there any difference in text rendering in the main Wavebox window, vs a new tabbed window in Wavebox? |
|
@Thomas101 No, if I tested it correctly. See screenshot: |
|
I've got a fix for this :) Found a Geforce 710 with a similar size monitor and I'm seeing the same. Off-the-shelf chrome has GPU rasterization disabled by default on that hardware configuration, where-as Wavebox doesn't so I'll figure out why we're not doing the same! If you disable GPU rasterization manually then it sharpens everything up. In Wavebox go to |
|
@Thomas101 thank you! That solves problem with blurry images, but not fonts. Please, compare flags section, I think it is best place.
And a bit closer. Wavebox on the top: |
|
What version nvidia drivers are you using at the moment? |
|
@Thomas101 441.87 from 01/06/2020 |
|
Updated right now to 442.19, nothing changed |
|
Also I compared chrome://gpu with Vivaldi and it has disabled chrome://flags/#enable-oop-rasterization , not chrome://flags/#enable-gpu-rasterization . Disabling it in Wavebox seems to have similar good effect for images. But not for fonts :( |
|
I tried a bunch of the flags to see if anything had any effect but didn't find anything. I'm wondering if there are some fixes either in Windows or the Nvidia drivers that looks out for |
|
@Thomas101 Great, thanks! Take a look at one more thing. chrome://gpu has different colors than Vivaldi and Chrome. Maybe it is some sort of CSS applying on top and messes things up? Wavebox is on the left. |
|
We've just shipped 10.0.80 to the beta channel, which has a fix for this. Would be great to know if this is better your end too! |
|
@Thomas101 That is awesome! Now it is fixed! THANK YOU! May I know what was the cause of this issue? |
|
@ToLive Pixie dust :) From what we could figure out, the issue comes up with certain graphics cards on Windows and it's all down to the way the driver combines the rendered font with the background it's rendering on. There are some additional build flags you can give to Chromium to tell it to use DirectWrite for fonts, which doesn't have this issue |
|
Great! |
|
Hey there, I would like to say that, it now seems the issue is back, and I had reset my pc for this, and it still having this issue, any ways to solve this? |
|
@Kytrex5625 can you give some details about which version of Wavebox you're using and the Operating System you're using? Thanks |
|
Also, are you using any other Chromium browser (i.e Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi), which versions of these are you using and is the text blurry on these? Just in case it's a GPU driver issue or something |
Expected & actual behavior
Text should be crisp
Steps to reproduce
Are there any steps that we can take to reproduce the bug?
Is the bug persistent or intermittent?
Do you only see it sometimes or does it always happen?
Always in every app
Screenshots
Screenshots often help us narrow down a bug more easily.
Additional information
My gpu is Nvidia G710 with latest possible driver. Text is blurry in every app. In the screenshots Chrome is on the left. One screenshot from my corporate portal and second from regular GMail.
