HorizonLauncher looks bad on hidpi devices (eg retina) #82

Closed globau closed 8 years ago

globau commented 8 years ago

on a hidpi screen, such as a retina screen on apple hardware, the launcher is low dpi.

this results in a very pixelated display making it very unappealing.

HI! Can you post a screenshot of what the launcher looks like?

globau commented 8 years ago

make sure you view the screenshot at 100% zoom; compare the text from your wizard with the same text in the browser. note this hidpi issues applies to all content in the launcher. i don't have the ability to test on windows, but you can easily emulate hidpi by altering the pixel ratio.

Oh I see what you mean- that's odd.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply! This issue seems to be fixed in Qt 5.6+, however, we're stuck on Qt 5.5 for now. As soon as major distributions package QWebEngine, we will switch to that, fixing this issue.

We will be including SVG icons with #88, which will hopefully increase the quality of the icons on high resolution displays.

Thanks.
