I don't own one but I have a friend with one and I have looked at them in Best Buy. One of my things is good text rendering and these screens make text look really, really great. As I mentioned previously Google's Chromebook Pixel has an even better ...

2013/3/25 Siarzhuk Zharski zharik@xxxxxx: That was my complaint. Assuming that all side-effects of the hrev45320 are so painfull - revereting it will be the shortest way to workaround the problem, IMO. At least until we have upgraded gcc version. Yes, just wanted to take the discussion back here and fix it instead of additional bugs and complaints. I'll disable it after work unless there are other opinions. /Fredrik Holmqvist, TQH ...

Hi Fredrik, Gesendet: Montag, 25. März 2013 um 09:04 Uhr Von: Fredrik Holmqvist fredrik.holmqvist@xxxxxxxxx Given that the discussion has died down, and no better solution than upgrading gcc has come forward, should I revert the change?

Gabriele Biffi wrote: Sure, but take a screenshot of your desktop and watch it on a 15. Pictures and movies will still look great, but everything else will be tiny. MacBook Pros Retina already runs at 2880*1800 at that size, that gives 220 dpi. This is where HiDPI mode - or whatever you want to call it - comes useful. In this mode, everything is rendered at twice the size, so it ...

Hi all, I'm trying to use the debugger to view dynamic C arrays like mytype* myvar; The debugger only shows the first element in the array. I've tried casting it by right clicking, selecting cast, and entering (supposing it has size 8 currently) mytype[8], for example, but this doesn't get me anywhere. ...

Obviously we know the resolution of attached screens, but do we always (or sometimes) know the physical size, in order to calculate DPI? ...

I don't think that's very useful for preferences windows like the deskbar one. It's a window I open only once the first time I install Haiku, and then forget about. When I open it again, I'll likely have forgotten where I had moved it the previous time. So, there's not much use in remembering the ...

pulkomandy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx schrieb: On Haiku, you just go in the appearance preflet and increase the font size. You also have to tweak some settings (deskbar and tracker icon sizes) elsewhere. Everything else should scale to this and the UI will look fine. Would still be somewhat incorrect. The appearance preflet doesn't say it explicitly, but you give it font sizes in points [0], which is a physical length unit, i.e. independent of screen resolution. A 10pt ...
