      I want to show real pixels on opera on my HDPI screen with windows configured at 125%, I only want to do this sometimes so I'm looking for a command line or an option.

      Chrome can accept these parameters: /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1
      Firefox can be configured on about:config -> set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1

      Any idea how to do this with opera?
      Thanks

        Starting Opera with '--alt-high-dpi-setting=' used to work.

          @leocg This kinda works but I don't understand how it is calculated, I had to use 77 so it would kinda match the size of the other browsers. Everything is blurry (including i.e. 1 pixel borders). Isn't there just a way to enable the options like chrome have them?

          Even IE and Edge can easily be set to 100% and there are no blurry lines there and the sizes match exactly (for most elements).

            Opera accepts some Chromium command lines, maybe you can try those you mentioned.

            For a 100% DPI you should use 96.

              I tried them before posting, same behavior as without them.

              For a 100% DPI you should use 96.

              The calculation seems to be inverted I dunno, maybe 77 kinda matched the size because my windows scaling is 125%, so 96 / 1.25 = 76.8, 96 does nothing and 120(96 * 1.25) just makes it bigger. I also tried 76.8 I think it just doesn't consider decimals

              Also it wouldn't be ideal for me but I tried setting opera zoom to 80% to compensate (1 / 1.25 = 0.8), text and 1 pixel borders are still blurry

                To match 125% DPI the number seems to be 120.

                  Maybe one thing is not related to the other?

                    This is the solution I actually wanted but opera misbehaved before because I didn't restart after changing windows scaling, after a windows restart opera is now not showing blurry stuff and the size is correct.

                    Thanks
