If that's true, then the problem must lie with Apple because it looks just grand on a 4k PC display.I'm using the default settings for the iMac display, not a scaled setting. Scaled setting won't make a difference.
The default setting would be 200% scaling.
The top is Dune 3 on a 4K iMac with the Default skin, the bottom is the skin image taken from the Huge skin folder. As you can see, a significant difference.
Ah, some progress! As you can see, the image itself looks great so it is now obvious that the problem is that the iMac is ruining it when trying to scale it. Clearly an Apple/macOS problem, not an issue with the original files.What needs to happen is they need to take the Huge skin images and fit them into the Default skin screen space, at least. If they can make even bigger images than the ones used for Huge, and fit them into the Default skin screen space, that would be even better.
How will that work if macOS is going to turn them into mush anyway? In any event, I'm pretty sure that's how they've done it anyway - taken their 5k working file and exported it at different sizes, so all from the same massive master file. Here is how those same two elements look on my PC display -
As you can see, they look pretty much the same. In fact, I doubt you can even tell which is the screen grab and which is from the skin folder. (I exported them as a PNG so there wouldn't be any additional compression artifacts.) So Windows is scaling things beautifully, therefore the problem almost certainly lies within macOS, not in anything Synapse have or haven't done. That's just common sense.
the bottom image has fuzziness around the text
