727229 - [10.7] Support HiDPI mode on OS X Lion

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 764083

(Thunderbird :: OS Integration, defect)

Description

[Sven Neuhaus]

Attachment: Screenshot showing font rendering of Apple Mail on the left and TB 10.0.1 on the right on HiDPI display

When running in HiDPI mode on OS X Lion, we should show double size icons, and make sure that the text is rendered properly.

I just tried TB 10.0.1 and the font is not rendered at the high resolution (see attached screenshot)

Still present in 10.0.2

Currently, very few users have 200dpi displays.
When Apple starts selling "Retina" displays with Macbooks or iMacs (or standalone monitors) later this year, Apple Mail will offer much sharper text. Thunderbird will look like crap in comparison and many will switch.
