[#32409] HiDPI (retina) support

Summary:
HiDPI (retina) support
Detailed description
Blender looks pixelated (low-res) on retina MacBook Pro (see attached screenshot).
What is necessary to fix this:
Should be added to Info.plist:
<key>NSPrincipalClass</key>
<string>NSApplication</string>
NSView that is used for OpenGL rendering should specifically opt-in for high-res, like this:
[view setWantsBestResolutionOpenGLSurface:YES];
Set viewport to the actual backing buffer resolution, NSView's convertRectToBacking can be used to handle this.
Text rendering should be aware of increased backing resolution.
Last step - provide 2x images for UI, select correct one in runtime.

The plist keys are added since a while.
This should help all non-GL and text to be sharp on retina now.
Unfortunately no one reported back.
I made same for Luxrender ( also w/o updated icons atm ) and it is a huge improovement already.

P.S.: Full retina support is planned for 2.65

The only difference in 2.64RC seems to be non-pixelated window caption, but the window content is exactly as it was before.

Could someone upload a patch? where to add "[view setWantsBestResolutionOpenGLSurface:YES];" isnt clear at all.

I'd also love a patch. I figure out a good bit of it today, but I couldn't get the NSOpenGLView to resize correctly.

Jens, I just tried applying the patch. I get the blender interface as a tiny subset of the overall window.
I've attached a screenshot of the result.

Oh yeah ..... :)
I'am doing blindflight here not having a testmachine.
I guess would be better someone with a macbook retina starts to move my lines around.
I think i placed the backbuffer stuff in the wrong place ....

Hi,
Just wondering if there has been any progress on this issue and if it's still a target for 2.65? (can't seem to find it on the projects page)
Thank you
