I'm building some windows and controls in my app by manually creating NSWindow objects and the respective controls and then adding them to the NSWindow by using
[[win contentView] addSubview:control]; The control and window sizes and their positions are all hard-coded in pixels. Thus, it is assumed that the UI font size stays the same. Now I was wondering how such code will behave on Retina Macs? Will it mess up completely because I use hard-coded position and size values but the font on Retina Mac is bigger? I don't have a Retina Mac here so can somebody explain (or point me to some documents) how to write code that scales nicely on Retina Macs? I'm familiar with Retina development on iOS. On iOS, position and size on Retina and Non-Retina devices are basically the same. To solve the problem of higher resolutions, there is a scale coefficient that can be queried by looking into "UIScreen.scale". This way apps written for non-Retina devices normally just work on Retina devices. Do Retina Macs use a similar implementation? Is there any way to test if my app runs nicely on a Retina Mac without actually having a Retina Mac? -- Best regards, Andreas Falkenhahn mailto:andr...@falkenhahn.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
