Title: Retina support?
Post by: 6233638 on September 27, 2013, 01:38:46 pm

Do you plan on adding Retina support to MC19? It's looking pretty rough on my MacBook Pro.

It looks rough right now on non-retina too.  From you screen shot it actually looks better on your retina display than my non-retina one.

Try resizing MC.  Matt thinks that Apple is resizing on it's own by zooming in.

What I wondered was if the OS was rendering at a smaller size and stretching.  This is how Windows does it unless you opt-out (and MC opts out since it can have its font size set independently).

That's just how non-retina applications are rendered on a retina display. (though MC is the only non-retina application I have now)

I don't know that there's a way to override this behavior, and it would be too small to read if you could.

Not really, because you can pick any font size in Options > Tree & View.

So I think we need to disable the stretching somehow.  Then we probably need to make a few of the graphical buttons bigger.

It looks like there's an option to open the application in "low resolution mode" but that just seems to remove the filtering.

Changing the font size inside the application is a bad solution - this only scales up the text, and behaves like the old "broken" method of scaling that Windows 7 and earlier used, rather than the proper scaling support that Windows 8 and OS X have.
