Bug or Regression?

Bug

Description

hyprpaper not filling the entire screen. There is a bottom line of pixels (presumably with the height of just one pixel) which is still visible when hyprpaper has already filled the screen.

As an OLED user, I have a full-black workspace background. I noticed a line of pixels of one height. Those pixels are exactly where the girl’s legs are if I kill hyprpaper. This happens on both monitors and is reproducible 100% of the time.

W.r.t. to the screen settings, workspace, hyprpaper, any other settings basically - nothing has changed exactly. I think the problem has only appeared within the commits of last week.

How to reproduce

Install hyprpaper (doesn’t matter which version).
Fill the screen with full black background.
Observe the lowest line of pixels in the screen is not entirely black as it should be given the wallpaper is black: there is a grey line. If you kill hyprpaper, you’ll notice that this line is exactly where the girl’s legs are.

Crash reports, logs, images, videos

With some good eye, it can also be seen in this screenshot.

UPD: Removed mentions of regression and 0.30 version since it has always been there.

nothing looks amiss to me in the log. hyprpaper is 1440 pixels high. Do you use scaling? Does the same happen with swaybg? Are aliens real?

This somewhat sidesteps the issue but you can do this instead of using hyprpaper

misc {
    disable_hyprland_logo=true
    background_color=0x000000
}
