Bug Description

Hi,

Nvidia 530 (graphics ppa), dGPU mode, GS 44, Lunar

X1 session:
If I launch Synaptic or ChessX, eg., the title bar is Adwaita-styled (greyish + icons).
No issue with GNOME apps (and some other like FF or TB snaps, etc.).

Wayland session:
all is ok (except many other bugs!)

Using a 200 % scaled 4K display, I see that the header bars of these buggy apps is small and not scaled (I mean fonts AND header bar itself). GNOME apps are themed and scaled as intended.

Are we missing custom theming in Yaru for mutter-x11-frames in GNOME 44?

I can confirm the problem, but I have no idea of the reason why this happens.
We didn't changed anything related to this.
Maybe something new we miss?

Looks like there's a whole new X11 window manager (separate process) called mutter-x11-frames in 44. I don't know the details.

Yeah, I've been looking into this some weeks ago already, but I feel it's something yaru could handle (even though my first attempts were failing)

Paul: Main change is that now those frames are gtk4 windows, using a GtkHeaderBar, but I'm not sure how that is different from normal ones.

However, gtk inspector can be used with:

❯ pkill -f /usr/libexec/mutter-x11-frames
❯ GTK_DEBUG=interactive /usr/libexec/mutter-x11-frame

Looking better I think there are two bugs, one is in mutter the other is in yaru where the look of these decorations isn't fully themed to be consistent with others.
