Gnome Wayland blur
Fixing application blurriness
Introduction
XPipe currently uses xwayland for rendering in Wayland. While this works well enough in most cases, there are some environments where this causes some problems. One of these cases is the lacking support for fractional scaling in XPipe.
If you are using a display scale that is not 100%, you might see a blurry application that is not enjoyable to look at. This is especially prevalent with greater scales like 175%+.
Workaround
Starting from Gnome 47, there are experimental options to improve the fractional scaling support for xwayland. These options are however not enabled by default.
You can enable these options with
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features '["scale-monitor-framebuffer", "xwayland-native-scaling"]'Display scale
As an alternative, you can also set the system display scale to 100% and instead scale apps individually. In the XPipe appearance settings, you can configure a display scale value that achieves the same thing as the system scale but does not result in blurriness.

Security in XPipe
Due to its nature, XPipe has to handle a lot of sensitive data. This can range from passwords for all kinds of servers, to SSH keys, and more. Therefore, the security model of XPipe plays a crucial role. This document summarizes the approach of XPipe when it comes to the security and privacy of your data.
