Not to mention, on a Mac you can have a combination of hiDPI (internal display on rMBP) and regularDPI (external display) and it works seamlessly.
I'm going to take a guess and say the same isn't true for Windows?
- kalleboo 13y agoYeah, what happens if you put a window halfway between two displays in Windows? On OS X, the window goes non-retina on both.
- city41 13y agoThey "fixed" this in Mavericks by only allowing a window to be on one screen. The window only renders on the monitor it is the majority on.
- marssaxman 13y agoThat's kind of sad. Dragging windows seamlessly across monitors has been one of those cool Mac tricks since approximately 1987.
- interpol_p 13y agoIt is easy to revert to the previous behaviour: uncheck "Displays have separate Spaces" in Mission Control under System Preferences. Mavericks treats multiple displays as unique desktops now, to enable for example separate Full Screen modes for each display.
- marssaxman 13y agoGood to know. I have no interest in upgrading to Mavericks and even less interest in full screen mode, but at least now if I ever end up there by accident, I'll be able to get back out!
- interpol_p 13y agoYes, the complaints about full screen mode not working on multiple monitors always seemed idiotic to me. Full screen mode is designed for small laptop screens, to free up some extra screen real-estate. Not for multiple displays.
- chrisoverzero 13y agoHe said that it works seamlessly. You're putting a window on a seam, so it doesn't work, duh.
- zokier 13y agoWindows does support per-display DPI settings. Windows do get scaled when dragged from one display to another.
