Is it possible to set borders and gaps to floating point values instead of integers?

[Prayag2]

On HiDPI displays with fractional scaling, setting border_size or gaps_in/gaps_out to integer values gives undesirable results. For example, border_size 1 is too thin while 2 is too thick. Setting it to something like 1.5 or 1.25 would give better results. Is it possible to do so at the moment?

This happens due to Hyprland rendering borders in scaled values. So for scale 1.5 and border_size 1, borders will be 2px wide, and border_size 2 would be 4px. I assume you want 3px.

It's not possible to use float values. Though I also wish borders were not scaled.

Is it okay to open an issue for the same?

test it on your laptop with scale 1.5 or more

I have 1.5 and border size 2. Now what? It's 2 layout pixels, which on the display are 3 hardware pixels.

[fufexan]

Sure, all good and dandy, but I'd like an unscaled option.

[Prayag2]

but isn't it possible to get 2 hardware pixels when setting the size to 2 layout pixels even if the display is scaled? I don't understand why it's not possible

[vaxerski]

because then your next window would have a 1 pixel gap because fractional layout pixels dont exist
