Description
JavaFX does not seem to have a concept for a screen resolution independent definition of a GUI. Just beeing able to query the screen size and resolution and maybe scaling the scene is not enough. Android has built-in support for this and I am wondering why JavaFX does not. (See, e.g. http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html)
Comments
Fixed under JDK-8091832.

Nothing further is planned for FX 8 beyond fixing bugs in the existing HiDPI feature.

Looks like Screen.getDpi() is what was necessary.

With the Retina support is there anything more needed for FX 8?

This issue will be tracked for the Lombard PRD as RT-24009. Additional tasks will be filed and linked to that JIRA.

We have discussed doing this in the past. CSS has support for resolution independence, but the scene graph itself does not. Set target to Lombard and assign to Richard, since this is an architectural issue.
