Unfortunately this is not doable with different X11 apps under the same X11 server. Sorry. You would need a second xwayland, which can be done now either directly or (more easily) via gamescope.

Researching now... :) Thanks. |
SUMMARY Context: I use several "old" fashioned application (using Athena Widgets for example : xfig) and some java applications (eg: sweethome3d) on a 4K, 32" screen... Although old applications support ~/.Xdefaults to set their fonts and stuff, it's a bit tedious. Moreover it's not foolproof as some parts can be configured and some cannot (eg: icons, drawings on buttons). Problem: In virtualbox there is a zoom that can be applied to OS windows... and I thought : it would be great to be able to apply such a zoom to individual windows (for their contents) in the windows rules... But there's no such option. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open XFig on a 4K monitor 2. Try and read it's menus without tweaking its resources file 3. Give up 4. Open the Application Rules creation window 5. Look for "Zoom" OBSERVED RESULT No "zoom" option :) EXPECTED RESULT A "zoom" option ;) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 13 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Kernel Version: 6.12.35+deb13-amd64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11
