Status of Reaper in 4k / retina ?
I've read through a number of threads but am interested to know if Reaper will be able to utilize a 4k monitor or a Retina display properly anytime soon.
I've discovered the hiDPI themes such as this one https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=187123 , which does make a marked difference in most of the UI elements.
Several parts of the UI are still blurry however, What is funny is that the Reaper website and 'favico' graphic are also quite blurry.
I realize this does not effect anything to do with audio etc but it does impact the user experience.
P.S. I'm on an older retina MBP and use LG 4k monitor via mini-displayport.

hmm, I guess what I really want to know is if any near-future release of Reaper will have support for 4k/retina "out of box". Not just the UI elements that are image-based, but also the ruler markers etc which arent currently low-res.

I'm sorry to bump this *yet again* but I'm surprised to not be able to find a solution for this. The ruler bars, grid, marker area etc, are all very grainy on 4k/retina. Is there no solution?

WELL this appears to be FIXED in the latest pre-release. Maybe all my whining helped somehow? Doubt it, but thanks devs !

Only problem with 4k is plugin developers not supporting it. And lots of existing plugins will likely never get 4k support. But to me 4k is worth it for text clarity alone. I could care less about video and gaming at 4k. Both look just fine to me at lower resolutuons, even on a 4k monitor.

But the situation is gettong better. Even I have feeling that it speeds up recently (Surge, BluArp).
On Windows, in case of plugins which don't support scaling, you can run them in bridged mode. Then they ware scaled by the operating system. yeah, such GUI looks blurred a bit but it's better than nothing.

I've never been able to get any of the VST bridging/firewalling settings to affect the size of my tiny plug-ins. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Hints?

IMO it always worked to me like this. If I run plugin in separate or dedicated process it's being run bridged. The condition is, feature of embedding bridged GUI cannot be active.
And of course you need to have to have some scale set in Windows. Reaper is set to HiDPI more: Aware but I'm don't know it it does matter since bridged plugin GUI is not controlled by Reaper anymore.
