LyX ⇒ LyX on Retina display

[ph43l]

Hi everybody,

I was going to buy a MacBook Pro 15'' with Retina, but then I read that LyX doesn't support Retina. I've read some people say it's so bad as to make LyX unusable. If that's true, I will probably reconsider my decision to buy a MacBook.

I wanted to ask if there was anyone here who is using LyX on a MacBook with Retina, so he can tell me whether it's really that bad. (It would actually be great if I could see a few screenshots to get a better idea of what people are talking about when they say it's all blurry.)

I was also wondering if there was any hope of seeing a version of LyX that supports Retina display anytime soon. There seems to be a patch out there, but I was under the impression that it was more like a hack and that it might be trouble.

This is really important to me, thanks in advance!

Best,
Philippe

Hi and welcome,

currently we are a bit short on LyX users and helpers. I suggest to ask the question over at the LyX user list. It will seen by much more people.

Can you keep us updated on any news?

Hi,

I've got LyX running on Arch Linux on a Macbook Pro 13" (2014 model), screenshot attached. Window manager setup as in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=182374 , I sometimes have the UI set to scale 150%, but doesn't seem to be necessary when working on the retina screen.
