Wayland support

Wayland support

Hi,

Can you release a linux package with ozone support built so that we can use the client under Wayland? There have been posts requesting this in the past because it is highly anticipated.

 

It shouldn't be that complicated it seems:

Best,

It looks like this

The blue title bar is "normal" - I thought you said you had blurry text. I don't see blurry text?

Yes. It solved the blurry text but added that blue title. I'd rather to see the blurry text than this title.
It's like apps from the 90s

The Spotify App has a blue title probably because it does not do client-side decoration. Gnome has dropped the support of server-side decoration a while back. 

That blue bar is Spotifys client-side-decoration 😛 I would also prefer that it is like on Windows, but meh. It sits on workspace 6, and I don't care for what I don't see

On Gnome, to avoid both the ugly CSD and blurry text, I'm now back to using X for Spotify, but with the experimental Gnome feature `xwayland-native-scaling` enabled.

 

Hopefully some day the ugly blue border can be avoided and Spotify can use Wayland by default, but I'm no longer holding my breath that that'll happen any time soon, given the length of this thread.

Nope, back to Wayland, since background CPU usage is considerably lower.
