Dynamic Image Resolution : QUESTIONS!

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Whilst Dynamic Image Resolution (DIR) is great as it means your app can look like and sharp on a Retina display there still seems to be some missing pasrts in Corona to support this fully.

  1. Text - currently you have to use beebegames’s workaround. This is good but surely Corona should support Retina text as standard.

  2. Current UI controls - the current UI controls like the TAB bar don’t seem to support DIR, so for example text and images on TAB bars look blurred :frowning:

  3. Current UI controls - UI button, no support for retina so again look blurred!

Will full support for Retina displays be added at some point soon?!!! [import]uid: 9371 topic_id: 5864 reply_id: 305864[/import]

Basically I used the dynamic image resolution features. Why Ansca didn’t update the UI.LUA to do this I have no idea.

So first thing to do is create images that are 2* the size of your existing images.

Then change your config.lua to include the dynamic resolution options

Then in the UI.LUA change the display.newImage to display.newImageRect [import]uid: 9371 topic_id: 5864 reply_id: 20326[/import]
