It appears that Res-Ind did not yet get fully turned on Leopard for
users. And, there's now risk that it has become completely
unsupported. Here's part of a bug report reply I got yesterday just
after the GM was released:
"After considerable deliberation, this feature has been removed from
Mac OS X Leopard. At this time, we do not anticipate re-adding this
feature."
QuartzDebug still allows one to set the user-interface scaling factor
(although not to as many settings as the version under Tiger).
My app that was 100% res-ind savvy still is except for large cursors.
Large cursors get completely trashed (at least on an 8-core Mac Pro
with ATI Radeon X1900).
I'm not angry that I spent time making my app res-ind (been doing so
since the Tiger tech talk back in 2004). But, I'm quite disappointed
this feature has not made it to prime time. I'll continue ensuring my
app works well will other scaling factors in hopes the feature may one
day return. And, will still file bugs.
For anyone else that still wants to add that ability to your app,
write in with your problems. I've gotten past all the common gotchas
and can share some code techniques.
