Cursor smoothing on Retina displays

Catalyst-42 opened this issue · comments

The problem

On Retina displays, at standard screen resolution (1/2 of the maximum resolution, which is the default setting), all cursors appear antialiased. Here are some examples:

Retina 1/2 Retina 1/2 Retina at max resolution
retina_x2_cursor retina_x2_scale_cursor retina_x1_cursor

As I understand it, the computer gets the original cursor sprite for the retina screen and then compresses it with anti-aliasing to the specified resolution.

I'm not sure if this problem is fundamentally solvable, as I've found some other applications in which perfect pixels get smoothed out
