TIP - Servoy Developer on Retina Display

I switch between XCode and Servoy Developer all day, and the fuzzy text in Eclipse was driving me nuts.

Here’s how to enable Servoy Developer / Eclipse to use the native display resolution wherever possible:

  • Quit your Servoy Developer
  • Navigate to your Servoy Developer directory
  • right click on the servoy developer application → show package contents
  • Open the Contents → Info.plist file in your favorite text editor
  • Add the following block to the end of the file, before the ‘’ tag
<key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key>
<true/>
  • Save the Info.plist file and close the servoy package
  • IMPORTANT: drag the servoy.app file to a different directory than /Servoy/Developer folder, and then move it back to its original location. This forces OS X refresh the plist file.
  • Relaunch Servoy developer.
  • Enjoy Servoy Retina. Note the icons and image elements will render at low res, but any text / UI elements use the native pixels.
