Info

dwl version: 0.4
wlroots version: wlroots-0.16.2-1.fc37.x86_64

Description

I have installed dwl, and it's working, but it's not recognizing my whole screen and only using 3/4 of my screen. I have attached photos of it, taking screenshots was not working as it was like the one fourth of the screen doesn't exist. DId try making the applications full screen, but still having the same issue.

Try wlr-randr. It will output a lot of display information, plus you can switch resolutions in it.
Example:
wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --mode 1920x1080
You can also post your wlr-randr output.

dwl is being run in a X session from a display manager. The solution would be to switch to a different display manager so that dwl runs on metal instead

Thank you for your response! Currently, I've distrohopped and am not using DWL. I will definitely give this a try, and I look forward to sharing my experience with it in the future.
