Silversurfer I have that one, along with a bright "garish looking white" on other backgrounds.

    I like Budgie, but might give Solus KDE Plasma distro a spin.

      PC-TECH I like Budgie, but might give Solus KDE Plasma distro a spin.

      I used Budgie from 2017 until a couple of months ago. I moved to Plasma because fractional scaling became a critical requirement, and Budgie didn't cut it in that regard. It took me a few weeks to get used to Plasma, but the Solus implementation is excellent. I'm hooked.

          I got 4K monitor to avoid fractional scaling issues on Budgie! 😛
          Budgie for life!

              tomscharbach In the long run, Budge might be best served by moving away from Gnome.

              It seems to mike that if a DE is gonna use Gnome stuff, it is gonna need to use Libadwaita or suffer side effects such as we've been facing for months.

                Solarmass haven't tried Budgie on a 14" screen yet, but I think 200% scaling would be okay?

                225% works better for me on a 4K screen.

                  I don't know how 200% would work on a 4K 14" screen.

                  On a UHD (1920x1080) 200% is unworkable. Windows uses/recommends 150% on my laptop (13.6" 1920x1080), which works well. I use 150% on Solus Plasma when I am using the laptop as a laptop, although I back that off to 100% when I disable the laptop screen and use a 24" monitor. Ditto for Windows.

                    tomscharbach That working good for you on a 14" screen? Eyes like eagle!

                    Since I know that you use scaling quite a bit, I've been meaning to mention some thing that I recently discovered about Vivaldi. That little scaling slider on the bottom panel, , operates on a per-tab basis. I adjust it to 130% for my Solus forum tab, because it's easier for me to spot typos when I post.

                    And that scaling remains in effect for that tab, even when Vivaldi is shut down and restarted. At this time, that's the only tab that I use full-time scaling for, but it's a big help.

                        Interesting Edge and Firefox both deploy global fractional scaling, not tab-by-tab. Does Vivaldi also allow global fractional scaling?

                        I think that almost all half-decent browsers allow fractional scaling these days, but I've only used Edge and Firefox, so I can't say for sure.

                            tomscharbach Does Vivaldi also allow global fractional scaling?

                            Yes, it does. By means of this similar slider in the global settings:

                              Vivaldi has

                              • UI zoom setting (panels, buttons, etc...)
                              • Default Webpage zoom
                              • Tab zoom (if you want domain independent zoom)

                              There is also a setting to use Zoom buttons instead of slider and btw you can even place Zoom buttons to the address bar!

                                As long as I've used Vivaldi, I didn't know about that option. I think I'd still prefer the slider, but I'm going to check out the buttons. Buttons in the address bar might be even more convenient. Thanks for pointing that out!

                                    WetGeek look for Use Buttons in Range Control in the Appearance settings:

                                    To customize toolbar: right click on any button on the Address Bar >> Edit >> Customize Toolbar

                                    😉

                                        Solarmass look for Use Buttons in Range Control in the Appearance settings:

                                        Thanks, I'll look for that. I might not have realized that "range control" referred to scaling.

                                          EbonJaeger A few things:

                                          1. According to their github page, Pano depends on libgda and gsound. As I checked with eopkg info , only libgdadepends on libsoupnot libsoup3.
                                          2. Also according to this, updatingligda to version 6 solves the problem (probably)
                                          3. I found that tracker depends on both libsoup and libsoup3. I don't quite understand whattracker do, but is that not a problem ?
                                            Thank you

                                          `

                                              alfisya that would be it then, as libgda and tracker want different versions of libsoup. With luck, updating libgda will be straightforward.

                                              As for number 3, the package.yml (build recipe) for tracker has libsoup3 as a build dependency, but libsoup as the dependency for the development files (used if someone wants to program using it as a library). This does indeed look incorrect to me. Good catch!

                                                  EbonJaeger The latest version of libgda still only uses libsoup-2.4, so updating it will not fix your issue. :/

                                                  EDIT: I can't find the source of the package used in the above link, but I suspect that their version of libgda is not built with libsoup support, which is why it would work for them.

                                                  EDIT EDIT: And we can't update it to 6.0.0 because Sequeler still requires 5.0.
