Blurry text in MM 2024.0.0.3082

Post by Steve5String »

Yesterday I updated MM to 2024.0.0.3082.

Now the text always gets blurry, when MM is not the active window. I'm working in a multi-monitor setup. One screen is reserved for MM but most times it has not the focus. Now I'm getting a crisis with this %&§$& blurry text.

I've changed NOTHING in the windows config an MM is the only app with this behavior.

I tried each skin, checked every windows option, changed the font-size, disabled Clear Type, optimized it - no result.

Any suggestions?

Thx, Steve

Can you please share a screenshot of what you see? I see no change in text when MediaMonkey becomes an inactive window.

Same problem here!
Blur seems to go away when the mouse hover a section, making only that section readable thou.
Tried enabling and disabling GPU acceleration with no difference.

Is this an issue with other Skins too? Also did you have custom DPI and/or Text Size settings in Windows (or done anything else that could have an impact)?

Hi,
Can you Check MM Shortcut and EXE Settings these work for me on 1440p Display and Win 10.

Try to play with settings and which one works.

A screencast of MM App behavior could also help.

It would really be helpful if you could share your settings, since a workaround shouldn't be needed. i.e.

- What graphics card
- Resolution and scaling/DPI that triggers the bug

Thanks!

And presumably MediaMonkey is the only application to do so?

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050
Main and second screen: 1920x1080 scaling 100%
Windows 11 Pro
Intel i5 8600
Ram 24GB

Tried fiddling with the suggested settings for DPI and compatibility, with no noticeable changes.
Changing skins doesn't work either.

And of course only MM is doing this...

Hi,
Do you have nVidia Enhancements enabled in Driver as MMW uses Chromium WebGL which can trigger nVidia "enhancements" in driver apps. I have only ATi GPU on all of my PCs, so no issues there.

SOLVED! Thank you, Peke!
Done a change in the nVidia control panel: "Antialias FXAA" to "disabled", restarted MM and it was fixed
