I too have a BGR monitor and would like to raise awareness that not all Linux apps properly support different subpixel arrangements yet!

- Electron apps do it wrong.
- JetBrains IDEs do it wrong.
- GTK apps do it sometimes? It's weird.

Firefox and Qt apps are perfect for me 👌🏻

Hier mal eine schöne Nachricht. Den Vortrag auf dem C3 darüber, was alles notwendig ist, um Text in qualitativ ansprechender Form auf eine Pixelwand zu zaubern, ist echt interessant.

I was trying out JetBrains Rider again...
→ is an IDE, so primarily for looking at text
→ no support for BGR subpixel rendering, RGB only
→ no support for bitmap fonts
→ no way to adjust the font or the size of inlay hints

How can an IDE have such shitty text rendering? I don't want my code to look blurry.

Note: Visual Studio isn't any better, but VS Code is.
