I am using TeXmaker because it has the preview to the right.
However, upon installing into my new laptop, I've noticed that the preview of the internal PDF viewer was quite blurry. I would like to know how to improve the quality of the render. (screenshot below)
You can also see that the GUI icons are blurry. I am not sure if it is related to that.
I've looked at the following existing questions and I would reason out why they didn't help:
- TeXmaker PDF viewer blurry. I tried this and this did not help. Also, the instructions were for a MacBook and I'm running Arch.
- Texmaker GUI is messy with high resolution screen. While this might be related to the GUI issue, this does not address the blurry PDF preview.
I would prefer a solution that actually fixes the TexMaker issue. I'm guessing here, but maybe there's a way to give a custom command to the Built-In PDF Viewer which tells it to render itself in a higher quality.
However, if no fix can be found, I would be open to suggestions on which other TeX editor would have a built-in viewer as well. I installed TeXstudio and I run into the same problem of blurry PDFs.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ok. So I solved it. Sort of.
I was using KDE and it has this "Scale Display" option. I had it at 1.3 and I guess this feature wasn't so compatible with TexMaker. I set it to 1 and things got fixed.
