Note that part of the problem is that for retina support we would require Qt 5. There are a few pending issues with LyX and Qt 5, as noted here: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9215 And we keep finding more (two weeks ago, Kornel found a bug due to Qt 5: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9412). I think that it still makes sense to go forward, but I just wanted to point this out. At some point we need to make a decision regarding which minimum version of Qt 5 we want to require. Scott
