Well, it works. But not for me.
What i had in mind when i thought i could get used to a hidpi display while using #windowmaker #dockapps and a bitmap font?
It turned out to be easier to get back to a lower resolution display than to unrice my desktop and get used to a new one.
So i reinstalled the original 1600x900 display; and am selling the new one.
If anyone wants to buy a 2560x1440 matte display with the eDP to LVDS converter for #thinkpad #T430 (also works on T420, T430s and T420s), i am selling this one WITH* the adapted top lid cover (i had to sand down some nubs for the display to fit), so you do not need to diassemble it all and adapt; AND with the webcam and LED boards (because they are screwed into the lid).
I'm selling the lid with all stickers i had in it: only one. A single faux-leather dog-nose-like vinyl adhesive covering it entirelly (for a bonus business laptop look).
*if you do not have a T430 or do not want the lid or do not want to pay more for the lid and webcam/led boards, i can sell only the display and the converter.
Preferably to brazil or mercusur for easy (for me) shipping.
It's been a little bit since we last gave an update on what's up with #Tenacity itself, aside from testing week, so here's what's happened today.
First off, we finally got to fixing an issue with #Windows builds failing with (s)cache enabled under Ninja. We added a patch for #wxWidgets in our vcpkg fork that we'll upstream over to wxWidgets.
Next up, we're making some Windows manifest tweaks. Basic, but we'll focus on improved Windows #HiDPI support after that work is merged.
New Apple Silicon M4 and M5 HiDPI Limitation on 4K External Displays

My current thinking is that in order to make a resolution independent UI toolkit one must first have a resolution independent drawing library?
The things I've found on that were algorithms based on device independent pixels.
Is that still actually the state of the art?
My primary design constraint is that I want the scaling to be zero cost when there's no actual scaling happening.
Can anyone point me to some good books/posts on the subject?

Another lightweight post, which got prematurely posted [here], hilariously enough. ;)

Many notebooks and tablets now ship with displays that aren’t quite HiDPI, but are more pixel dense than traditional displays. In OS 8.1, we now support fractional display scaling in the Secure Session
Just in case you are using an #iPad as your work horse and connect to a computer using a #RemoteDesktop. Here are helpful custom screen #resolutions to make the iPad feel like native.
I am using #SwitchResX. The 21:9 is an ultra wide 4k monitor I sometimes use as external screen, the 13:9 is the new iPad Pro 11", the 10:7 is the older iPad Pro 11". The ultra high resolutions are just there to support #HiDPI resolutions which make the image look crisp!
Petite découverte du comportement de #macOS …
Quand 2 écrans (1 Retina et 1 non Retina) sont connectés au Mac
Si :
- l'écran Retina est l'écran principal
Alors :
- Le #DPR renvoyé par les 2 écrans est de 2 car l'écran non Retina est forcé en mode #HiDPI
Mais
Si :
- l'écran non #Retina est l'écran principal
Alors :
- Le DPR renvoyé par l'écran non Retina est bien de 1
- Le DPR renvoyé par l'écran Retina est bien de 2
Si j'avais su je n'aurais pas perdu du temps à debug ma page #web pour rien.
