GTK: On fractional scales, fonts and hinting
I'm curious - when you were doing research into the mechanics of hinting options, did you stumble onto any relevant discussion around allowing custom pixel geometries to be defined, to enable hinting on modern OLED / WRBG displays? There's a good thread on the topic here[0], with some people referring to it as 'ClearType 2' on the MS side [1]. On the oss side I know FreeType theoretically supports this[2], but I can't quite figure out how relevant the FreeType backend is to this most recent work.
This is great work btw.

HDMI Forum Rejects Open-Source HDMI 2.1 Driver Support Sought by AMD
HDMI 2.0 is capable of doing 4k @ 120Hz, but only up to YCbCr 4:2:0 8bit instead of the full YCbCr 4:4:4 10bit (though I'm not sure how close wayland is to 10bit support). It will be fine for gaming, just not for everyday PC use.
FWIW I also didn't realise this until just now. I've been running my desktop at 4k@120hz recently for the buttery smooth neovide, but have been noticing that text rendering, especially syntax-highlighted text, looks awful. I'd seen the same oled panel render text way better in WSL/Windows (both using a custom pixel geometry[0] via Mactype, but also without), so I spent more time than I'm willing to admit to wrapping my head around custom pixel layouts and hinting in freetype. But no, turns out it was this all along.
If you want to see the effect of 420 vs 444 chroma subsampling on text rendering, this writeup[1] has some great test images and is well worth a read. Also, if you happen to have an LG OLED panel, you can get a little debug window that confirms your signal format and refresh rate, by pressing the green button on the remote 7-8 times.

Text Fringing? looks bad on the new Samsung OLED G9...
Download Mactype. If you download the beta version (warning: it will trip windows defender) you can use one of the QD-OLED profiles, if you download the last stable version (has an installer and will not trip Windows defneder), use a grayscale rendered font like this one. It doesn't work on chromium browsers though so you're gonna have to use Firefox if you want it to be on your browser.

Text Rendering Hates You
If only. There's a ticket open with Microsoft's PowerToys to improve the anti-aliasing situation:
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/25595
And heres an explanation from the dev of MacType about how DirectWrite can cause different applications to perform text rendering differently from each other:

How do you guys maintain good eyehealth?
There's an open source text rendering engine called MacType, it does what you'd think (make it look like Mac). Fonts are a visual delight after that, and it's highly configurable.

[HUB] One YEAR Using The Alienware AW3423DW QD-OLED - My Thoughts
Already supported in WPF and DirectWrite. AFAIK DirectWrite by default only uses y-axis at large font sizes. I think MacType enables it system-wide.

27GR95QE vs 27GL850 Text Readability - more details in comments
I'm using standalone mode (load with tray). It can definitely work with browsers, as mentioned here: https://github.com/snowie2000/mactype/issues/931. Their github has considerations and workarounds for each, such as this page for Chrome: https://github.com/snowie2000/mactype/wiki/Google-Chrome

[Oled_Gaming] Bessere Textwiedergabe für OLED-Displays (ClearType loswerden)
Step 2: Install it from the MacType homepage, it is an open-source project so it seems safe to me. I recommend installing it in "Load with MacTray" -> "Standalone Mode".

TranslucentTB

I had to do it.
Take a look at TranslucentTB. It makes your taskbar see through. Your icons are still there like normal, but the white bar itself is gone. This makes any desktop look way better imo.
- Finally got my LG 27GR95QE!
-
Is there a way to show the taskbar in full screen by moving the mouse down to the bottom of the screen?
PS. If you are on Windows 10 or 11 you might enjoy the trying the tiny 'TranslucentTB' utility makes the Windows taskbar translucent/transparent and has a multitude of options: https://github.com/TranslucentTB/TranslucentTB

[LPT Request] I’m finally getting (my own) PC. What are some essential useful apps and browser extensions?
For aesthetics, I like Wallpaper Engine (4$), Rainmeter, and TranslucentTaskbar most.
- Translucent Taskbar no longer working after recent update
- Anyone know how to fix translucentTB on windows 11 ?
-
What is program? I don't know where it came from or how
If your wondering about TranslucentTB, TranslucentTB is a lightweight utility that makes the Windows taskbar translucent/transparent on Windows 10 and Windows 11, and is installable from the Windows Store.

Is there a Wallpaper on Wallpaper Engine that is similar to this (or uses this font)?
Likely RoundedTB, you may be interested in TranslucentTB as well.
