I see no additional blur comparing with other platforms.
It's bad font rendering. Trying to improve.

P.S: DlangIDE is now able to open DUB based projects, build and run them, edit files.
Good sample project is dlangide/workspaces/tetris :)

I've added Gamma setting for font rendering. Now text looks acceptable.
In DlangIDE v0.1.4, I'm using
        FontManager.fontGamma = 0.8;
	FontManager.hintingMode = HintingMode.AutoHint;
(as well, for Windows versions, USE_FREETYPE is set - but it falls back to win32 font rendering if no freetype.dll found)
As for me, now font rendering look good with such settings.
Latest features implemented:
* Text cursor blinking
* Update of actions state in UI (now working better for toolbars, has some bugs for menu items, will be fixed soon)

Now DlangIDE allows to open DUB project, edit it, build and run, clean, rebuild, upgrade dependencies (using DUB).

I hope it will become usable in a few weeks.

Hi Vadim,

When I follow the Build and Run Demo App using DUB I get the following...

Is the setup missing extra directories?

Hello,

Works for me - I cannot reproduce the problem.
It looks like -J parameters are not passed properly to compiler.
For embedding of resources into executable, -J include paths must be set for directories views, views/res, views/res/mdpi, views/res/i18.
When I'm running dub with -v switch, I see
-Jviews -Jviews/res -Jviews/res/mdpi -Jviews/res/i18 in DMD command line

Probably, it depends on DUB version.
My one is 0.9.22 Sep 16 2014 (downloaded from code.dlang.org/downloads)

Best regards,
     Vadim

WARNING! Breaking change in dlangui!

Pull request to use package.d instead of dlangui/all.d is integrated.
If you are using dlangui in your project, please change

    import dlangui.all;

to

    import dlangui;

in order to fix build.

From what I can tell, it seems to be that it's using X11 for rendering, which I think doesn't support high DPI properly when using a Retina screen, making it appear very blurry.

XQuartz Bug Report: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/661

I don't know what makes dlangui (dlangide?) use X11 though.

This seems to have broken building DlangIDE for me. After updating from Git, doing `dub build` prints the following error:

src/dlangide.d(3): Error: module dlangui is in file 'dlangui.d' which cannot be read.

DlangUI just uses libsdl.

The only possible reason of blurring is SDL2 implementation on MAC.
