Please can you add Mac retina support to Dune 3? I really don't enjoy looking at blurred plugs in (almost) 2019.
NB) Same goes for the Legend.
Cheers!

When you look at a 300dpi image on a computer screen, you don't see it at 300dpi, you see it at the native screen resolution - 72ppi for Mac and Linux, 96ppi for Windows.

Retina screen have 2 to 3 times more pixel density over its non-Retina counterpart.

Take my LG Ultrafine monitor (218 ppi) as an example — MacOS produces a workspace equivalent to 1024x576 at 4x dot pitch (4096x2304 native resolution).
Therefore DUNE 3 in huge mode is displayed huge because it's not optimised for retina pixel density. It's being up-scaled 4x by MacOS...which is why it looks blurred.
Pretty much all applications now support retina, and most new plugins, so I would hope it's not too difficult to implement.

Yes please!
I'm on a 4K iMac and Dune 3 could really use high resolution support. The Large and Huge options don't really help, and lack the crispness of a high resolution interface.

There is a reason why the GUI was not blurry for Rich and Marcin while they were developing the Mac version of Dune 3. Otherwise it seems like they would have noticed it right away and fixed the issue.
It appears to be related to Scaling. If they were using standard scaling and you are using a custom scaling that might explain why you find the GUI blurry and they did not. I don't think every Mac user has complained about a blurry GUI.
