LimitationsĬurrently in version 3.2, the entire Renoise UI can only be displayed at one single level of scaling. * On Linux: When present, the X resource ‘Xft.dpi’ setting is checked and followed, then the scaling is deduced from the default display’s ‘DisplayHeight / DisplayHeightMM’ ratio. This option can still be used to enlarge the Renoise GUI even if your display isn’t HiDPI, making it more comfortable to use on higher resolution screens. Linux: If your current Linux setup works with a HiDPI display, Renoise should work too.įound in the "Preferences > GUI" tab, the new ‘User interface scaling’ option can override the amount of scaling used by the default ‘Auto’ setting, which uses your main display’s DPI value*, and instead uses a percentage chosen from 100-350%.Versions of Windows prior to 8 do not support HiDPI. On Windows 8 the Renoise UI will be HiDPI, but Plugin GUIs will not be scaled. Windows: Windows 10 is required for full support.MacOS: Toggle the ‘Enable Retina support’ option in the Renoise "Preferences > GUI" tab.In the DPI settings dialog, enable the ‘Override high DPI scaling behavior’ option, then in the ‘Scaling performed by’ drop-down menu select ‘System’. Go to the Compatibility tab and click on ‘Change high DPI settings’. Windows: Right-click the Renoise executable and select ‘Properties’.If you need to disable HiDPI support, this is performed in the following way depending on your OS: The downside of upscaling in this manner is that the UI can become blurry and sometimes lacking in responsiveness - issues which Renoise can now avoid completely. That upscaling is typically performed by the OS so that non-HiDPI-enabled applications appear at the same size as they would when running on a non-HiDPI display. If your display is HiDPI then the OS will now draw the Renoise UI in the higher native resolution instead of manually upscaling. If you don’t have a HiDPI display this changes nothing, though you can still make use of the new ‘User interface scaling’ option. Starting from version 3.2, Renoise is a HiDPI-enabled application. To make use of this extra density without resorting to upscaling requires explicit support from the software application.įor more general and technical information about HiDPI: Compared to regular displays, HiDPI renders pixels at twice the normal horizontal and vertical resolution, giving an overall density increase of 400%. Initially found on phones and tablets, they are becoming more commonly used in high-end laptops and monitors, especially those with a 4K resolution. ![]() HiDPI (High Dots Per Inch) or 'Retina' displays have a high resolution packed into a relatively small form factor, resulting in much greater pixel density than normal. 1.1.5 Using VST/AU Plugins on HiDPI Displays.
