Problems with screen grabbing on retina Macs #67

Open QualityApplications opened 8 years ago

Hi, my plan was to buy a Mac mini and attach it to my TV one day. So the lightpack was lying around all the time till yesterday when my plan changed and I liked to run the lightpack with my retina iMac. Unfortunately I've got issues with the screen grabbing feature. Maybe the software doesn't work with retina displays? I tried the lightpack on Mac OS 10.11.2 on both a retina iMac and a MBPr. Both have problems grabbing the correct border color. I've got Bootcamp on my MBP and the lightpack does work correctly under Win7.

Since I'm a software developer myself I could modify the software but before delving into your code are there any known issues? I can't say the exact problem but maybe the grabbing has problems with points and pixels and does calculate the colors just from the upper left part of the screen?

I think I have the same with my 4k monitor. For me it works well if I set native resolution... But, obviously, it's impossible to work that way :( Also, I suppose that's the same issue: https://github.com/woodenshark/Lightpack/issues/39

Quick solution: just install the tool "Display Maestro". Then choose as display solution "2560 x 1440 NON-Retina". Well, the display would be less sharp after that, but for watching TV, movies or playing games, this solution would be suitable.
