Does it have cross platform Hi-DPI support? No.

  Are you joking? I can't tell. Just in case you aren't, what do you think is required for a platform to support Hi-DPI displays?
  • Pyxl101 9y ago
    I'm not the OP, but I assume hi-DPI support means that applications scale up their GUI sizes appropriately based on the DPI. When I use a hi-DPI display (like 4K displays), a lot of old software renders text and widgets too small to see, because they were programmed to display things as so-many pixels high, without concern for DPI. It's frequently a problem with old video games, though it affects regular applications too.

      It's more than that, simply pixel-doubling the UI is also terrible. Real hi-DPI support (to me) is actually rendering at hi-dpi.

        What difference does it make if the standard resolution is Hi-DPI or not? Can you visually tell the difference between pixel doubling and other methods of designing for Hi-DPI?

    For what's it's worth, I've written Java 8 on macOS and it 'just works'. I didn't have to do anything to make it look good in hidpi.

      Yes, it works on Mac, but not on Linux...

  Yes it does, when using Java 9.
