How to zoom in in XQuartz without a mouse? - zooming

I tried combinations of <cmd>, Alt, Opt and +, - to zoom in. None works.

I found that this is related to the settings in the Mac. I can zoom in and out, ie. with two fingers on the touchpad.

Google Chrome: strange image artifacts (pixelated, broken)

I recently encountered a strange behavior in my Google Chrome browser.
Images appear pixelated and broken, but they appear on screenshots and get scrolled so it must be the browser and not my laptop. For example, google search:
Search icons get something like...distorted? Has anyone encountered that and maybe knows how to fix this?
Here's a work around: go to chrome://flags and disable GPU Rasterization.
You can use this link: chrome://flags/#enable-gpu-rasterization to get there.
Thanks to https://piunikaweb.com/2022/02/24/google-chrome-images-distorted-pixelated-after-latest-update-for-some/ for the tip
Same here. Not only icons but some large images as well
Ctrl+refresh seem to solve it

Turning off [GPU rasterization] and [hardware acceleration] is worked for me.
(Windows 10 + Chrome v101.x)
Turning off GPU rasterization
Go to chrome://flags
Select 'Disabled' right side of 'GPU rasterization'.
Restart browser.
Turning off hardware acceleration
Go to chrome://settings/system
Move switch off 'Use hardware acceleration when available'.
Restart browser.

Weird title on inputs / textareas all around the web

When I mouse over many inputs and textareas all over the web, I see some weird text.
I thought it was on StackExchange only, but it happens on amazon:
(note that you can't see my mouse in these pictures, it is not recorded in the screenshot, but it is on the upper-left of each hover text.
Chrome's DevTools shows a weird title attribute:
I have no idea why this happens. The websites I've seen this on don't seem to have a library in common, so I doubt that would cause the problem. At the same time, I have seen this in browsers other than chrome, so I don't know. Even the textarea that I'm typing in right now has the problem.
Why does this happen and how can I prevent it from happening to my website?
Looks like that's a built-in Chrome option, an "experimental feature." Go to chrome://flags/ and disable "Show Autofill predictions" if you want to turn it off (mine was disabled by default).

Disable grid in chrome device emulation

I know this question may not fit well here but this really is driving me crazy for few hours now :( I use chrome to simulate how websites look on different mobile devices. I clicked something wrong that led to a grid with rulers to appear. I don't know WTF to do to disable this grid. This is the screenshot:
I uninstalled and reinstalled the browser and it returns back.
I reset the developer tools to default settings and it's still there.
This is really becoming a nightmare for me for few hours now. I want the regular emulation without these rulers and grid and top bar. Thanks
There is a small blue button on the left of Elements which actually does the magic.
You didn't click anything wrong. Your Chrome updated itself to 38.2125 and the emulator now has those attributes. Further more, the touch function is broken.
To fix the problem, download the "Canary" version of Chrome. You're still required to see the grid, but the screen is improved and easier to see your layout. Also, the touch function is fixed.
Get Chrome Canary here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/canary.html
That button just enables/disables the emulator. The OP is looking for a way to disable the background grid while emulating mobile devices.
If you're looking to disable the multi-colored grid lines that show up as an overlay, check out the console dock on the bottom of dev tools. There is a tab labeled rendering and try disabling "Show composited layer borders". If you're still seeing the rulers, that setting is in the Settings (gear) of dev tools, there is an option under the Elements heading for "Show rulers".

Google Chrome is zoomed in

So I was using Chrome and IE together when all of a sudden Chrome decides to change its zoom level not only for the webpage, but the entire browser. I'm not sure if it happened when I restarted Chrome or if it happened when I decided to bring it to the front. So basically, all menu items, logos, icons, absolutely everything appears to have been zoomed in slightly. I have restored to original settings, disabled extensions (I don't use any extensions anyways), uninstalled and reinstalled, and nothing.
I've used the DPI settings in the properties of the Chrome application and nothing changes it. I've changed scaling in Windows and nothing helps.
Everything is larger in Chrome now and it's driving me crazy. Many menu items won't appear fully because of this. Note that this isn't just at the webpage level but at the entire browser level. I've included some images so you can compare. If you look at the youtube homepage, you'll see that everything is larger in Chrome than it is in Internet Explorer.
Scratch that apparently I need reputation in order to post pictures, ugh. If I can get 10 rep soon I'll post some pics.
I'm sorry if my description is rather vague but this isn't something I could search up. No other programs (including IE) are having this issue. THanks very much in advance if anyone can help. This is just driving me crazy.
No, Ctrl + 0 obviously does not work. This is an issue with the program as the entire program looks zoomed in. Everything, not just the webpage.
Found a "quick fix" solution from post #38 here:
Right click on the Chrome link on your desktop
Choose Properties and then add " /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1" to the existing Link to your path to chrome.exe.
Hope this works permanently. What a hassle.
If you're experiencing a "zoomed in" browser it's because you have an updated version of Chrome. Chrome and FireFox now adjusts the page zoom level according to your Windows settings to better support high DPI displays. For example, if Windows is set to 125% font size (120dpi), the content area will be zoomed by 25%. This is usually the default setting on your computer.
This means that your updated Chrome and/or FireFox browser will automatically set websites to 125%, and all other browsers remain at 100%.
What are possible solutions?
As of this writing, their isn't a known method of fixing this from a web coding standpoint, due to that it's created from the inner workings of the browser. That being said, their are still some things you can do from the "users" side to fix this:
The quickest way around this is to open up your browser and press on your keyboard "ctrl -" (control minus) twice. This will set your website content to 75%, which would be equivalent to 100% in all other browsers (but this will just fix the website content).
You can set your computers font-size settings in your control panel to "100%". This will make all of your computer fonts smaller.
I'm sure their is a better answer to this, but for now these are the 2 options that I'm seeing. In FireFox version 22 they also added this feature (as mentioned above), you can see the work around for FireFox here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/962979
I'm sure a similar solution also exist with Chrome.
You can change your windows default zoom to 100% in display settings and make everything almost unreadable, or (a better way)
You can add a start parameter to your chrome shortcut:
"your-chrome-dir\chrome.exe" /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1
I know, it's too late, but just in case someone else has this problem...

Weird horizontal and vertical lines in google chrome

The problem is that google chrome shows some weird vertical and horizontal lines in my website.
I think is a render problem but I'm not sure.
Google chrome version is 18.0.1025.168
You can visit the website here: http://www.plastic-data.com/hotel/
And here, the screenshoot:
And i have checked for extensions, my google chrome doesn't have any.
Mac with Chrome version 89.0.4389.90. The method #cybersholt and #Alex_J provided solved it for me (though the option is slightly different for Mac users):
Type chrome://flags in URL bar
Go to GPU rasterization (currently default).
Set to Disabled
This worked for me..!
1) Type chrome://flags in URL bar
2) Click on "Reset all to default" at the top near to "search flags".
I Hope the following steps work for you!
Follow the steps:-
1) Type chrome://flags in URL bar
2) Locate the following entry "Composited render layer borders"
3) Make sure it is set to "Enable"
4) Restart your browser and then check!!
The problem is not on the browser, neither on your website, I tested here on my installation of Google Chrome 18.0.1025.168, and no problems found as you can see on the image below:
Note:
I had that problem in the past, and was a graphic driver problem.
I believe that it is a graphic driver problem on the computer you are using!
I also had the same problem with 45° horizontal white dashed lines repeating on any website in chrome with a solid color background. It was happening on multiple computers with only using the chrome browser. #cybersholt solution fixed the problem.
1) Type chrome://flags in URL bar
2) Go to GPU rasterization MSAA sample count (which should be set to default).
3) Set to 0
had the same problem. had to Disable this:
1) Type chrome://flags in URL bar
2) Locate the following entry "Composited render layer borders".
BiG thanks for the tip!
Just ran into this issue, although I had multicolored horizontal lines instead of vertical lines like this:
One of the comments described in this post by #Cat-Friend finally fixed the issue after much searching.
To fix this issue:
Open the Settings page in Chrome (chrome://settings)
Search for hardware acceleration
Disable Hardware Acceleration
