Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.106 Safari/537.36 Example URL: Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Download Electron 1.2.6 from https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v1.2.6/electron-v1.2.6-win32-x64.zip 2. Unzip and run it on Windows 3. Make a screen shot in the resulting window and zoom in 4. Notice that font is anti aliased using grayscale instead of subpixel anti alias What is the expected behavior? 1. Download an older Electron version before they updated to Chrome 51 (e.g. https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v1.1.3/electron-v1.1.3-win32-x64.zip) 2. follow the same steps and notice nice subpixel anti alias What went wrong? See the attached images to make the comparison. Does it occur on multiple sites: N/A Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A Did this work before? N/A Does this work in other browsers? N/A Chrome version: 51.0.2704.106 Channel: stable OS Version: 10 Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0 We would like to learn why this issue is there in the first place since we cannot reproduce it when doing the same screenshot in Chrome 51 normal. Something with the way Electron/nw.js embedds Chromium must cause this anti aliasing problem. Some pointers where to look for are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I just tried NW.js 0.16.0 and it's working well in the same way with Chrome browser.

Please file a bug with Electron. We do not support third party products built on top of chrome. |
