- musicale 6y agoI'm not sure how well Morphic deals with HiDPI. Presumably it should be fixable, though the performance could drop. Of course the beautiful part is that the rendering engine is written in Smalltalk, so anyone can fix it in the environment itself. ;-) I think there is also an alternative UI that uses DOM text and widgets? Note the bidirectional JavaScript bridge allows you to access the DOM easily. Presumably DOM text and widgets would render fine in HiDPI mode. Personally I'd be fine with some sharp bitmap fonts and UI elements; bitmap fonts work great for programming, and they are quick to render, fun, and nostalgic (also there are some beautiful classical bitmap fonts created for the Alto, Smalltalk-80, Macintosh, etc..)
