Summary
Adds an installer for the Affinity Suite (previously Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo, Affinity Publisher) via the
affinity-appimage-binAUR package, which packages the Linux Affinity Installer AppImage.Problem
Affinity runs under Wine via an AppImage, and Wine manages its own DPI independently from Hyprland's monitor scaling. This means the UI appears at the wrong size, too small on HiDPI displays or too large after scaling down. The AppImage includes an
affinity --dpicommand that opens a GUI DPI configurator, but it requires manual input and doesn't offer precise control, you have to guess the right value rather than having it automatically match your monitor's scale. The alternative is manually editing Wine registry files, and the correct registry location is non-obvious (Wine reads DPI fromsystem.reg's hardware profile, not justuser.reg).Additionally, the AppImage ships without a working desktop icon, so there's no launcher entry in the application menu after installation.
Solution
omarchy install creative affinity: Installs the AUR package, copies a 512x512 icon, and creates a desktop entry with a working launcher iconomarchy-launch-affinity: Wrapper that automatically syncs Wine DPI to the focused monitor's Hyprland scale before every launch:hyprctl monitorsLogPixelsin bothuser.regandsystem.regomarchy remove creative affinity: Removes the package, desktop entry, and iconRelated to #3141
