MacBook Pro Retina Display support

Description

JOSM looks blurry on MacBook Pro with retina display.

As i see it there are minimum three changes to be made:

  1. Set HiDPI support in Info.plist to make the UI text render with higher DPI,
  2. make icons with higher resolution and
  3. make the map render with higher DPI.

I dont know the complications 2 and 3 will make, but 1 is easy to fix:

In the file josm/trunk/macosx/JOSM.app/Contents/Info.plist add the lines

    <key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key>
    <string>True</string>

inside <plist><dict> … </dict></plist>.

It enables the HiDPI support in Apple Java 6 and make the UI text render beautiful.

Java 7u40 has been released, can you give it a try and tell us if it works ? Thanks.

(you currently must launch JOSM with Web Start or manually to use Java 7 on Mac, the OS X package does not yet support Java 7)

Point 1 should be fixed. We won't do points 2 and 3 because it does not concern more than 1% of our users and it would burden JOSM for the 99% other people (and no one of us has a Mac anyway)

I want a non-Mac notebook with Retina display. Really. When can I buy one for reasonable price...

From #9310 screenshot we could do something for preferences icons, I didn't think it would be so small...


@ggeldenhuis: To use Java 7 on Mac you currently cannot use Web Start. Can you try with regular JAR file ? "java -jar josm-tested.jar" to see if it's better ? InstallNotes#MacOS

I will give it a go. java -version still show 6 on the command line. I am using the jar file locally copied into applications directory and not webstart. I will get it sorted and report back.

I've seen a possibly related issue when editing fields in Advanced Preferences. Screenshot attached.

Hello,

I am using the Java Web Start version of JOSM with Java 7 and the text is clear and crisp.

However, the icons are still at the low resolution, and the map view also.

Is there a way to a least have an high resolution map display?
