Replace Pixelated Scaling for XWayland Apps with Blur Scaling

As shown in the images, while XWayland applications cannot scale as freely as native Wayland apps, implementations like dwl and Sway handle scaling differently than Hyprland. Instead of rendering pixelated output upon scaling, they produce a blurred but acceptable appearance. In contrast, the attached Hyprland screenshot demonstrates how scaled XWayland apps become coarsely pixelated, which looks visually unappealing.

I understand that disabling XWayland scaling is an option, but this results in uncomfortably small text.

Could we consider implementing blur scaling instead of the current pixelated scaling? This approach would maintain readable text size while significantly improving visual quality.

why not use xwayland:force_zero_scaling for no pixelation at all?

it's too small.

you're using vscode. It's electron... you can zoom it in...
