A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST : Java on OS X by now offers great support for hi dpi/retina displays. Unfortunately, the launcher "java" does not. When specifying an image as splash image via java -splash:splash.png ... The file splash.png is loaded and shown even when a file splash@2x.png is present and the command is executed on a display with hi dpi/retina support. JUSTIFICATION : It's quite disappointing when you spend a significant amount of time on getting hi dpi/Retina right and then realize that the very first impression the user gets when starting your app is a bad one, i.e. a blurry splash screen. EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR : EXPECTED - If the provided splash image has a hi dpi version, i.e. the "@2x" version is present, and java is launched with a hi dpi display, show the appropriate high resolution image. Additionally to providing support for the "@2x" notation, consider supporting multi version tiffs created via tiffutil as described in https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/GraphicsAnimation/Conceptual/HighResolutionOSX/Optimizing/Optimizing.html ACTUAL - On Retina displays, java shows a blurry low resolution image, which leaves a bad first impression on the user who expects polished, professionally looking software. ---------- BEGIN SOURCE ---------- Place two file in the current directory: splash.png (low resolution version) splash@2x.png (high resolution version) Start a java program with: java -splash:splash.png ... On a low resolution display this should display the low res variant, on a high resolution/retina display it should show the hi res variant. ---------- END SOURCE ----------
