Bug Description
GTK+ 3.10 and later support a scaled rendering mode for hi-DPI devices such as Apple's "Retina" displays and other vendors' 2560x1440+ laptop displays.
In addition to providing higher-resolution icons for toolbars etc, it'll be necessary to make sure that Inkscape's drawing surface is done at the appropriate scale.
Currently, on a GTK3 build on Fedora 20, with scaling on, the basic UI components render nicely (except for icons) but the drawing surface is blurry and low-resolution.
See https:/
In addition to Linux, full HiDPI support will be wanted for Mac OS X: https:/
Not only for retina.
I have a Toshiba Satellite P50t, with UHD resolution in 15.6'', with Ubuntu 14.10. And I can not use inkscape with native resolution. With high dpi resolutions the UI shows icons, texts, menus, toolbars, cursors... too small.
I think this request must be prioritary, because Inkscape is a tool for designers, and designers we love hidpi monitors :-D
Next year 4k and UHD monitors will be more and more common, and Inkscape is far to be ready.
