Describe the improvement

On a fractionally-scaled monitor text in UniGetUI looks blurrier vs. text in other apps
Top: Wordpad
Bottom: UniGetUI 3.1.0-alpha0
UniGetUI

When you zoom a lot you can see that Wordpad has some "yellowish" color around, I think it's due to a specific type of antialiasing. Can UniGetUI add an option to use the same type?

Thanks!

Describe how this improvement could help users.

This would improve text readability

WingetUI uses WinUI3 rendering, powered by the Windows Conposition Engine. I cannot change how the text is rendered

This seems to be the core framework issue indeed microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml#768, and given the team's attitude that's it's better to wait a couple of more decades until the hardware fleet catches up, it's unlikely to ever get fixed

Thanks, but I want to do the opposite - enable the proper subpixel rendering (Cleartype just like in the non-WinUI3 apps) technique for this ap. I don't need performant ugliness
