Font is blurry on retina screens #5040

Closed sdthornton closed 9 years ago

sdthornton commented 9 years ago

Just updated to 0.172.0 from 0.166.0 and the entire app is now non-retina ready. I've added -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; which smooths the font, but it's still quite blurry and not retina ready.

Looked through the existing issues and only found font issues concerning non-retina devices, but my apologies if this is a repeat.

The above theme is Neutron, but I've switched tried it with the default Atom themes as well.

Does changing this setting make any difference?

No difference. But I actually was able to solve the problem. Ended up finding an already closed issue with the solution: https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/3430.

For some reason moving Atom into Applications caused the default OSX setting to be "Open in low resolution". It's a curious thing. Working beautifully again though.

My apologies for the duplication. Closing.

Had the same issue when using Atom on an external display. It became blurry when I unplugged the monitor and switched to the Retina display on my Macbook. A quit and re-open fixed it for me.
