These are / should not be that much important even to a seasoned

Using a couple of png's for theming

Hi Ender,
It is important to keep in mind that what might be classified as a pet
feature for some is essential for others. I consider myself a fairly
experienced developer and consider resolution independence critical. On the
desktop you cannot make a LiveCode app look correct on retina displays.
Your text will always look fuzzy. If you happen to be playing with the
resolution independence branch of the LiveCode engine on GitHub (the
developer branch includes it now) you will notice a night and day
difference when loading your projects (when loading the project on a retina
laptop).
Windows has similar issues with resolution independence. Changes have to
made to the LiveCode engine itself so that we can have projects look and
behave properly. Based on the number of support emails I get from my
customers I see an upward trend in among my customer base who are using
high-resolution settings on Windows.
For me, lack of high resolution support affects sales of my product (users
with retina displays do not like non-retina compliant apps).
Just another perspective,
Trevor makes an extremely valid point.
A crowd sourced project sourced by mant people all pulling in different
directions is jus
not going to work.
So; before anything like that a consensus of what should be on the list
has to be arrived at.
I have a particular sore-point about the wat Windows Vista, 7 and 8
imposes its own fonts in Unicode text fields.
Richmond.
