Re: Mac HighDPI performance

 

Andrey-

I'm moving this to a new thread so that we don't conflate the OpenMP
discussion with this.

Can you test running Kicad with the "Open in Low Resolution" mode enabled?
You can activate this by choosing "Get Info" on the main KiCad application
and checking the option that says "Open in Low Resolution".  You may need
to do the same for the other applications (Eeschema, pcbnew, etc) as well.
