Hello,
I have an iMac 27" and I love the screen real-estate I get out of it (2560x1440). However, during programming I almost always use a single window and use the “spaces” functionality in OS X to switch between my editor and the browser.
Doing this, I always found that my screen is too big or the resolution too high to have a nice development environment, but lowering the resolution results in a blurry screen so that wasn’t a solution.
Until today (well, just 10 minutes ago), when I found out how to enable HiDPI mode in OS X Lion. I now have a gorgeous screen with the right pixels (1280x720) for my programming needs.
The problem? It seems the text rendered in Sublime Text 2 gets extremely blurry as a result when I use antialiasing.
Here are two screenshots of the end result. As you can see, the text in the OS (and on websites and other apps) are very crisp and nice to look at, the text in the editor not so much.
Disabling “antialias” in the options somewhat solves the problem, but I’d rather have antialiasing enabled AND have crisp text. Is this at all possible with Sublime Text, or would it require a complete rewrite of the app?
