Why is there a need for this change? Where comes the demand from?
For me this looks like an odd short term solution.
Mac OS tries hard to display the applications as desired. The desired Mixxx resolution is tested and designed for up to HD.
So It is desired that one Mixxx pixel is diplayed on 4 pixel on a HiDPI display. (the legacy mode)
The 'NSHighResoluti onCapable' : 'True', disables the resizing done by the OS and allows the Application to size automatically. /bugs.launchpad .net/mixxx/ +bug/1479037
This means if Mixxx runs on a HiDPI it should automatically render all pixmaps and fonts with double size.
The result will be a Mixxx with the same dimention as before, but wit super sharp texts and Hi res cover arts.
Some detail here: https:/
If we set this flag now, it just allows to use the native solution, which might be desirable for some users.
But it is against the normal policy and it prevents us to switch over to the "right" behaviour later.
If the is a strong need for some users to set this flag, it should be a preference option or something and not the default.
This is done the same way in Gtk.
We have already a pending bug for this with some more details: /bugs.launchpad .net/mixxx/ +bug/1297242
