Request: high resolution display support

[Hefaistos]

Do you plan to support high resolution display fully? I use Note 4 (QHD screen) and some icons are not sharp, while text is smooth.

Hello,

SoftMaker Office HD support QHD screens. We tested the office suite with a Nexus 9 and 10 up to 2560 x 1504.

There are no known problems. Can you make a screenshot and send it to us?

Hello,

Thank you for the screenshot. Can you send us the sminfo.txt (Invoke "Tools->About->Write System Information")

What exact resolution (height and width in pixels) does your device have?


Thank you.

My screen resolution is 2 560 x 1 440 (height x width in portrait mode, resp. width X height in landscape mode)

Hello,

I reported this to our developer team. Thank you.

If I were to take a stab at this, as a developer, I would say that it's not a problem, but a perfectly reasonable design choice.

Unlike fonts, the icons are not generated on the fly procedurally. They are "resources" of limited resolution that are packed into the app "package".

If each icon was procedurally generated the UI performance would be needlessly slowed by all that processing.

If each icon bitmap was a very hi-res resource that would look super-smooth regardless of screen resolution it would needlessly take up more memory - which we don't want on these limited RAM devices.

All in all they work perfectly well and I'm willing to trade-off icon resolution for more available RAM.
