![]() ![]() To be honest, seeing how little in terms of innovative features Illustrator gets I was really surprised by its retina support being out as quick-and InDesign’s being MIA. You’d think they'd learn it one day, but apparently idiot corporate policies like "Flash is an app development framework, now!" trump pragmatic engineering decisions.Īs for the non UI, content rendering-if it works at 200% zoom, it works with HiDPI. ![]() They’ve been trying to have a "magic" UI framework that works across Windows and OS X for over a decade and it has never worked well (at least not on the Mac side). ![]() And, no, it’s not Apple’s fault that Adobe’s apps don’t use Cocoa’s UI controls but are instead going for some weird ass, half-flash-half-not combination of a home grown UI framework monstrosity. If Adobe was somehow "surprised" by this then they have a bunch of idiot managers on their InDesign team. I know plenty of OS X and iOS developers and as soon as that info came out they a) started planning for the transition and b) pretty much knew how Apple will handle high-resolution displays (same as they did on iOS-by doing resolution doubling). I am sorry if this sounds harsh, but you could enable HiDPI as far ago as December 2011, see this article: The support for “Retina” along with the common interface (choice of dark or light) will be available for the next major release of InDesign. They have been in progress since even before the release of CS6. However, as perhaps Adobe's most complex software product, implementing and testing such changes is much more difficult and time-consuming than for smaller products such as Illustrator and Photoshop. Maybe you should also be let down with Apple as well!Īdobe was and is in process of converting InDesign to remove the use of the “carbon” interfaces from InDesign and use the newer OS interfaces that provide for compatibility with the “Retina” displays. What you must understand is that Apple gave Adobe absolutely no advanced warning about these new displays or indication that it would not be compatible with the existing “carbon” program interfaces. I understand your disappointment and frustration about the fact that InDesign doesn't have an immediate update to support Apple's new “Retina” displays. ![]()
