Hi!
Got a PhillipsBDM4065 40" 3840*2160 (with a DP1.2 at 60hz). It's
insane.
Not retina shmetina, it's like a regular HD screen times 4.
However, to make full use of the magnificent real estate, haven't yet found a suitable theme, aesthetically or usability -wise.
I loved
Paulie on a screen quarter this size.
Some themes work OK, but look boring or ugly. Bad Anti-aliasing becomes apparent, lines are too thick, some text rendering is too small or blurry, etc...
The usual theme tweaks aren't sufficient.
At (Reaper's prefs) scalings of 1.5:1 or 2:1 things look quirky or blurry, and at 1:1 everything's too small.
Here's a screen being shot, to display the full
non-effect, with Imperial.
Such a shame, instead of the supposed majestic looks... tinny and unreadable.
I marvel at White-Tie's and other contributor's talents and investment. As a graphic and web designer myself I tried diving in a little bit into WALTER et al and got freaking scared.
I appreciate all your work!
I realize this topic has come up, and expect it will more and more. A lot of users are moving this way.
Until REAPER's devs will address this issue at the core level (did someone say vector? yes they did),
anybody ready to raise the glove?
I wish I knew how to myself.
I believe a lot can be done, with just common sense and the existing tools, to modify a current theme to suit very hi-res displays.
Big screens with big resolutions are going to be standard, so it seems, until interfaces move full on 3D. Or brain chip, you choose what's worse.
