How to Fix Blurry Text in Termux X11 & Increase Terminal Resolution

Hey Guys, It's me SaadMaqsood 🙋🏻‍♂️ back again with another fire Termux trick you didn’t know you needed 💥💻. So today, we’re talking about something super annoying — blurry graphics and chunky pixels when using Termux with X11 or kitty. It just looks… 🥴 meh, right? Well, not anymore. Let’s fix that and turn your terminal into a crisp sharp weapon 🗡️🔥.

Why Everything Looks Blurry in Termux-X11? 😵‍💫

Okay so when we use GUIs in Termux (especially with X11 or kitty), the default settings don’t scale well with our Android screen DPI. So everything ends up looking like it’s running on a potato 🥔. We don’t want that. What we want is razor-sharp output 📸✨.

✅ Step-by-step: Make That Terminal Sexy 😮‍💨

1) Enable Fullscreen for X11 📲

Run this command in Termux to get X11 running in fullscreen mode:

termux-x11-preference "fullscreen"="true"

This doesn’t magically bump resolution, but it gives Termux the whole screen to breathe 👀 so everything gets room to scale better.

2) Fix Kitty Config for DPI + Font 🐱📏

If you’re using kitty terminal (which is 🔥 btw), open its config file:

~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf

Then add this to make everything sharper than your ex’s lies 😬👇🏻

font_size 14
dpi 192

You can adjust the DPI and font size depending on how 🔍 or 🧠 you like things. DPI = screen sharpness, font_size = your eye comfort. Try combos and find your sweet spot 😌

3) Quick Hack: Pinch-Zoom 🚀

If you're lazy like me sometimes 😅 just use two fingers and zoom in with your touchscreen. This works especially if you're running GUI with X11 or VNC. But it's not a real fix. Just vibes.

TL;DR 🔥

• 📺 Enable fullscreen with termux-x11-preference
• 🔧 Edit kitty.conf with your desired font_size and dpi
• 🤏 Use pinch-zoom for temp visual relief

Final Words 💬

So yeah, this was a simple tweak but it can completely transform how your Termux GUI looks. Clean, sharp, and productive — just how we like it 💅. If you have your own DPI/font combo that slaps, drop it in the comments and let's help each other out 🔁.
