Hi Alexander, Alexander Berntsen alexan...@plaimi.net writes: the next release of i3 should behave correctly on Retina/HiDPI displays. It isn't already? Works fine here. What's wrong? I don't understand why i3 should care about PPI. No, it doesn’t work correctly in 4.7.2, the latest stable version: All pixel values, such as paddings, borders, etc., are designed for 96dpi displays and are not scaled up. E.g., for a 2 px window border, you need 5 px on a retina display to achieve the same physical width. I think the effect is very very easy to spot when comparing 4.7.2 with a build from the “next” branch. Once you restart into the new version, you’ll see how it just feels right again :). -- Best regards, Michael

Doesn't sound like this will be invasive or annoying, so carry on! :-) - -- Alexander alexan...@plaimi.net https://secure.plaimi.net/~alexander -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iF4EAREIAAYFAlORpCEACgkQRtClrXBQc7XCXQD/SFT5H4iz3/FGrcYM13BHPNvL H+VVHlMuBTL60dFmysgA/jRu6Rq9YgqFQnhF7OYWKWn7xfr1Wru1A6dfgwrCOcrn =iMTs -END PGP SIGNATURE-
