Thank god for 19" displays and 1024 x 768
Makes everything look big and bright :)
Hi Norman
Actually I've been doing a lot of experimenting with ways to make the
display larger, including using Quartz Debug to enable the
"resolution independent" display feature in Tiger that are supposed
to be exposed in Leopard. It allows you to set the actual screen
resolution (eg 110 dpi) and the OS trys to scale things so they are
the same physical size as they would be on a 72 dpi screen, but at
high resolution.
Interestingly some apps look great, and some apps look terrible.
Safari draws everything very nicely at the larger size; normal text
is very crisp. However rasterized text is somewhat fuzzy, as you'd
expect from scaling up a bitmap.
RB however looks very fuzzy everywhere. And the Finder isn't much
better. I'm purely speculating that Carbon or QuickDraw based apps
can't handle the resolution independent displays well.
So I wonder whether a Cocoa/Quartz based RB would scale its display
better and whether such a beast is in the roadmap. Or what else it
might take for RB to look good on Leopard?
Regards,
Joe Huber
