Description john elhm CLA 2016-06-08 12:45:10 EDT 
Summary: 

After "Bug 382972" was marked as "VERIFIED FIXED", some UI elements like Buttons still look blurry on OSX.

Tested with MacBook Retina 13".

Buttons like "Run" and "Debug" look sharp and clear, but many others(most of them) still look blurry.Ex: Icons from the Project Explorer, from the top bar, the numbers marked on the left side of the Java Class.

Acceptable Criteria for VERIFIED FIXED should be:

-All UI Elements look sharp and clear

Line numbers in "Screen Shot 2016-06-08 at 19.37.52.png" look blurry, too.

Created attachment 262355 [details]
This attachment presents some blurry elements on retina screen

This picture presents blurry icons in package explorer and also blurry links (e.g. "Create new source folder" while creating java project.

And yes, line numbers look blurry as well. Maybe there should be some generic bug created for all remakrs about elements which are still blurry?
Comment 4 john elhm CLA 2016-06-11 05:45:34 EDT 
I think a new way of rendering for high resolution is needed. Too bad the macbook pro has a retina display. There are too many pixels and it makes the laptop slower.
Comment 5 Patrik Suzzi CLA 2016-06-20 13:16:24 EDT 
IIUC, this bug has three sub-items: 
- provide missing HiDPI icons
- render differently text elements (i.e. line numbering)
- provide HiDPI splash screen 


Lowering severity to Normal as this bug is not blocking development nor induced any major loss of function.

Comment 6 john elhm CLA 2016-08-07 08:56:55 EDT 
so how much long are we supposed to wait for the fix ?
Comment 7 Patrik Suzzi CLA 2016-08-10 10:09:47 EDT 
Could you please attach to this bug the images that are not anymore available in dropbox?
Comment 8 Matthias Becker CLA 2018-08-02 02:59:53 EDT 
The following is already fixed:
- line numbers
- Project Explorer Icons

For the blurry text: This is a duplicate of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=396063

So i close this ticket.
