QB64 IDE issue on Mac Retina display

[Ramitmanhas]

Hi
I installed QB64 on my Mac for school work but the IDE is totally zoomed out and shows only bottom left
I can’t resize or access the top of the IDE
My Mac is Retina display
I had gone to various other discussion threads and tried different solutions like
Scaled or auto display setting of Mac
Or changing the viewport line code

Nothing works

Can any one suggest a solution

I replied to your email suggesting you to try the latest development build, as there have been changes to that recently. Can you confirm you attempted the latest version?

I had the very same problem and I resolved it by modifying the source code and recompiling QB64. I attached the patch to this post. Put it in the qb64 folder, open the terminal, go to that folder and run the following commands:

Code: [Select]

patch -p0 < retina_patch.txt
./setup_osx.command
You must have Xcode command line tools installed for recompilation to work.

Hi, @venex - thanks for your input. Would you be kind to test the latest development build and see if it has it fixed on your system? We've had changes to it recently. https://www.qb64.org/portal/development-build/

Welcome aboard.

Hi, I checked the development build on my old Macbook Pro with High Sierra 10.13.6 and the newer one with Catalina 10.15.7. I tried running the compiled binary and then rebuilding with setup_macosx.command. On High Sierra recompilation was necessary, because the qb64 binary didn't work out of the box, as it was apparently built on a later system. In both cases recompilation went smoothly and after that qb64 launched just fine. Anyway, in all cases I tested with the development build, on both Macbooks, the screen now looks correct. Thanks!
