<p>I got reminded yesterday that Emacs is not a proper GTK application after installing
|
||
Windows 11 to make use of its <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/gui-apps">built-in support for Linux GUI apps running in WSL</a>. Windows uses Wayland/Weston and the results are great with native GTK apps like GEdit, but
|
||
unfortunately <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/issues/190">HiDPI scaling doesn’t work properly with Emacs</a>. Bummer!</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The upcoming Emacs 28 should fix this, as it introduces a pure GTK front-end
|
||
(a.k.a. <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">pgtk</code>). I’m wondering whether to build Emacs 28 from source or not, so
|
||
I can get it sooner. In the mean time my old setup <a href="https://emacsredux.com/blog/2020/09/23/using-emacs-on-windows-with-wsl2/">based on
|
||
X410</a>
|
||
continues to work really great and I guess I’ll stick to it for now.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>At any rate - it seems that the ultimate Emacs experience on Windows is right around the corner.</p> |
