TIP - Servoy Developer on Retina Display

Postby robwormald » Sat Feb 09, 2013 4:47 am

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
Image
- Open the Contents -> Info.plist file in your favorite text editor
Image
- Add the following block to the end of the file, before the '</dict>' tag
Image
Code: Select all
<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.
