Eagle opens in low resolution on Mac

wchundak over 9 years ago

Running Eagle 7.3 on a MacBook Pro with Retina display and it looks pretty fuzzy. I notice in the app's file info that the "open in low resolution" box is checked but greyed out to inhibit changes.

Any way to fix this?

Thanks for looking that up.

I tried it and it did vastly improve all the textual elements, which helps quite a bit. The graphical icons such as the tool selectors are still low-res but very usable anyway. The rendering of the schematics seems a bit rough when zoomed out but looks very nice and workable when zoomed in.

As a side note for any other potential Mac users, I found that Eagle does not recognize any of the standard MacBook trackpad gestures, two-finger-scroll, pinch-to-zoom, etc. So I had to resort back to my old Targus mini bluetooth mouse which actually works pretty well. I haven't tried a Mac mouse so I can't say how that might work.

(Update) The trackpad gestures do work if you set the "mouse wheel zoom" option in the user interface settings dialog box to 0 (zero) and uncheck "legacy mouse wheel mode." But then the wheel mouse gets a little wonky. It's one or the other I suppose!
