The development branch basically has retina support. The unsolved issues regarding HiDPI screens are: 1. The required Qt5-frameworks have some bugs on the Mac platform which one may see as show stoppers. (See: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9215) 2. The icons for LyX are not ready for high resolution displays. I'd like to discuss the chances to make this productive somehow. I can spend some time to work on the icon issue. And I'll follow the changes of the Qt5-frameworks (Qt5.4.0 is available now). Is it possible to make a 2.2 release in a foreseeable future? Or would it be possible to do a back port of Qt5- and Retina-support to 2.1.x? What's LyX behavior on other platforms regarding HiDPI screens? Best wishes for a happy New Year to all. Stephan
