Just evaluating `Display extent` will tell you the pixel resolution
that Pharo is using. Maximizing the Pharo window, and checking the
pixel resolution of the physical screen, and what MacOS thinks about
what the pixel resolution is will give useful information. If all
these match, then Pharo is using real resolution. If not, it is
fake. Trying this both in Retina and external screen may help
understand the behavior you see.<br>
<br>
But still, the real question is: is it possible to know the pixel
pitch? The real DPI of the physical screen?<br>

<div bgcolor="#ffffff"> Hi Nacho,<br>
<br>
This is a great opportunity for you to help Cuis!<br>
<br>
- Is Pharo aware of the true pixel resolution both in Retina
and External displays?<br>
- Is Pharo aware of the true pixel pitch both in Retina and
External displays?<br>
<br>
Answering these questions may take a little time of
researching the system. Would you do it for us?<br>
<br>
If the answer to both is YES, then we really need to learn
how they do it and try to do the same in Cuis.<br>
<br>
If the answer is NO, maybe they are running at fake pixel
resolution and fake pixel pitch. Then, using the Mac zoom
you could check that a Pharo pixel doesn't correspond to a
physical display pixel. If this is the case, then the
solution is not interesting, because running at true pixel
resolution is crucial to good visual quality.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

Didn't try Squeak. At least using Pharo 10 on a mac

<br>
The VM doesn't tell the image about pixel pitch. It
would be nice if Cuis could automatically adapt to
it.<br>
<br>
When you say "as other open-source Smalltalk do", do
you mean that Squeak or Pharo know the actual pixel
pitch?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
