QGIS and Retina display

[Malauch]

I just installed qgis 2.18.13 +gt5 port and realised that it doesn't support retina display. All text and icons are blur/pixelated. Is it possible to enable support for Retina display? I also have Linux Mint installed via Parallels on my iMac 5k and on that system QGIS works with Retina quite well.

I have no retina display available (I use either a Mac mini or a MacBook Air). But maybe this ​https://github.com/qgis/homebrew-qgisdev/issues/5 can solve your problem? If yes, I can patch the file to have it added unconditionally? Please tell me.

Do you mean that setting?

1. Edit /usr/local/opt/qgis3-dev/QGIS.app/Contents/Info.plist
2. Change NSHighResolutionCapable key to True, then save Info.plist
3. Run touch /usr/local/opt/qgis3-dev/QGIS.app to ensure launch services is notified of plist change

I tried to edit /Applications/MacPorts/QGIS.app/Contents/Info.plist but there is no NSHighResolutionCapable key for QGIS 2.18.13. Linked thread is for QGIS3, so maybe it's related only for QGIS master branch

Replying to Malauch:

So create one.

qgis @2.18.17 (#55905) still doesn't have the NSHighResolutionCapable key in its Info.plist, but qgis3 @3.0.0 (#55906) does. Consider using qgis3 instead?
