Hi,
I'm using PureBasic 5.30 Beta 4 and even with the stable version the IDE looks blurry on my retina macbook. This was a show stopper for me; especially as the editor font looked blurry as well

.

But I found a simple solution.

Open /Applications/PureBasic/PureBasic.app/Contents/Info.plist with TextWrangler or your preferred editor and add:

Code: Select all

<key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key>
<true/>

just before:

Code: Select all

</dict>
</plist>

os x caches this file so "touch" the "app":

Code: Select all

touch /Applications/PureBasic/PureBasic.app

Start purebasic now and enjoy nice and sharp fonts. Non-native widgets like the tabs in the IDE above the editor remain blurry but I can live with that.

I hope it helps some poor soul out there.

Kind regards,
Andreas.

Most of the IDE looks sharp, except the tabs. Can this be fixed somehow also (in new release and/or via trick)?

As far as I remember, the tabs of the IDE are CanvasGadget objects meaning they are images and not optimized for retina ( @2x ).
