Retina - HiDPI display support for the interface

[matthieuroche]

Hi,

I do not know if this is the right place to ask for this. I love Dexed, but I find the interface suffers from its lack of Retina support. I am on a Macbook Pro 2015 under Mac OS 10.14.6.

Is there any plan to support Retina screens?

Best wishes

Matthieu

Hi Matthieu

Yeah I have definitely thought about using 2x resolution assets and the like.

The current global situation has slowed my development pace a bit so I haven’t been able to get my first set of changes (tuning; MPE; newer build infrastructure) back into the main fork yet. But a Retina display upgrade (which in JUCE is really just a 2x assets and overdraw upgrade, or switch to vector assets it seems, from my other JUCE projects) is definitely something I would love to do.

Hi Paul,

thanks for your reply! Totally understand, this situation makes it hard for all of us, and retina support for Dexed is actually of little importance in these times :) I hope that once everything will be back to a more normal situation, you will find the appropriate time to do this. Looking forward to it!

Music and music software has been actually super helpful to me and many others in these times so I would love to do it. But I must admit some of my concentration on super detailed things has been a bit fractured, which is more the problem here. Returning to dexed is on my list once I wrap up the surge skinning engine project though.

Oh also; @mkruselj didn’t you make 2x assets for many thigns? Do you remember where you put them? (Sorry, as I mentioned above, a bit disorganized in my volunteer-programming thinking last couple of weeks)

Sure there they are:

dexed 2x UI.zip

Also, reading the welcome page, I got a bit worried. I am a Renoise user, and so far Renoise does not accept VST3. Do you plan to maintain the AU version of Dexed too?

[baconpaul]

Oh yeah. AU VST3 and Standalone. I am a Logic Pro user. Don’t worry.

Just VST2 is not feasible.
