I'm also kind of curious what it looks like on a Retina Display.

Looks fine on a 15" Retina MBP. There is a bit of graininess to the font at 1280x800, but not sure who would zoom in that much.  The only "issue" I've seen after a cursory look is when scrolling horizontally (such as on the Labors Full view), the column headers can scroll at a different speed than the data rows.

Thanks for testing and the screenshots. I'm not getting the scrolling issue in non-Retina Yosemite. Do the column headers and data rows re-synchronize when you stop scrolling?

Yes, they do sync back up so at rest all the columns line up appropriately. To be clear the difference isn't huge -- just enough to be noticeable while scrolling. After a bit more experimentation, this difference is also only expressed when the mouse cursor is over the column headers or the blank area under the data rows. If I try horizontal scrolling with the cursor over the data rows, they scroll in sync.

Qt supports high dpi since Qt 5.6 and I built with Qt 5.5. I don't know why homebrew chose to keep 5.5 and 5.7 instead of the LTS versions (5.6 and 5.9). Maybe Qt 5.7 would work since I had to rise the minimum version because of C++11.

Qt 5.7 might be nice.

I tried drawing some higher-rez versions of the icons.

It seems like something happened to the QT themes with the 39.1 release. On windows 10 the theme has reverted to some kind of strange Windows 95 look, and I'm really not trying to be picky, but it feels a lot busier and is not as easy to visually parse (for me at least).

I took screen shots of one of the option window pages just as an example.

(So, basically without the 3d effect.    Don't get me wrong, I do very much like the slightly cleaner look of 10, regardless of being utterly identical in every functional way, but one does sort of expect something more annoyingly up-to-date after two decades, or more if you look back to preWin95 Windowses and ignore the times Macs/etc have previously looked like this. Though you'll appreciate that I do quite dislike a lot of the intermediate fancying-ups that have cropped up along the way, just for the sake of "looking new", only to age quicker than the things they tried to break away from.  The same applies to sports clothing, but that's a grumble for a different forum. )

I can confirm the Windows 10 issue. Although it worked fine when I tested it on Windows 7. Until I decide to try a new build (or wait for msys to fix it), you can try replacing the Qt dlls and the platform folder with ones from the previous version, it seems to work (with a very quick test).

Got it, thank you for the work-around.

I made a not-really-a-new-release: 39.1.1. No source code change, only the builds changed:

• fixed manual location in Linux AppImage
• use Qt 5.7 for OS X build
• Windows builds using MSVC 2015 and Qt 5.9.3

Hopefully, the OS X version will work better on retina display.

I checked the win64 build and the style works fine on Windows 10. The Visual C++ Runtime installer (vcredist_*.exe) is included is the archive, so it is a little bigger than previously but you'll know what to install if you get missing dll errors. I may remove it later to get smaller files.

I also moved the manual to a separate repository, so it has its own releases.

The Qt library isn't linked in correctly.  I reported this in Issue 41

It didn't work for me in OSX 10.10 Yosemite either.

Hi,

Will the the 44.02 version of this work with DF version 44.03 (released today)?

[Clément]

No, it requires new memory layouts for each version. I am relying on DFHack to create memory layouts. As soon as df-structures is updated, I should be able to create the new layout files. (it is a bug fix update, I don't think it will take long to update with the hints that Toady added to find the addresses)

Ok, thanks!
