Application specific issues - bakkeby/dusk GitHub Wiki

This is a list of issues that are application specific in relation to tiling window managers. This includes known issues for dwm which may or may not be an issue in dusk.

When moving an alacritty window from one screen to another and the DPI between the screens differ then the window may change size when the midpoint of the window crosses the border.

WINIT_X11_SCALE_FACTOR

The game loses fullscreen when switching to another tag / workspace and reverts to windowed mode.

One solution for this is to add the following to the launch options:

SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0 %command% -full -noborder <other launch options>

This sets the SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS environment variable to 0 before starting the game.

The losefullscreen patch for dwm may also be a source of interference.
