For all Mac users that have emacs installed, I have successfully installed pdf-tools but the PDF files looks fuzzy. Has anyone managed to increase the resolution?
In case it helps, I have a macOS Catalina (version 10.15.4)
Thanks a lot
You need to add
(setq pdf-view-use-scaling t
pdf-view-use-imagemagick nil)
To enable the retina screen support

I am using xcode 10.1, recently I have updated mac os from 10.13.6 to 10.14.2 and after that the installed fonts are not available from storyboard; When I change the type to attributed text, installed fonts is showing in font box but in plain text only the system fonts are showing;
Is any way to fix this issue?
Install the fonts on your system first by double clicking it, or opening your FontBook app (double clicking should open the FontBook app)
Add font(s) to application bundle
Restart Xcode
:) hope this helps
I usually program on windows (at work) or linux (free time).
Now im doing a project for my wife, and she uses a mac.
In this project there is a QTabWidget with closeable tabs.
On windows the close icon appears properly, and as excepted, however on MAC there is no close icon.
When you click far left on the tab title it just closes unexpectedly, because you cant see a close icon, and im not 100% sure why that is.
Anyone seen this before and know of a fix?
Mac is latest Siera os (just updated)
Python 3
PyQt5 (installed with pip3)
Thanks very much in advance
This is caused by a bug which has been fixed in Qt-5.9.2 (see QTBUG-61092).
In the meantime, it should be possible to work around the issue by setting your own icon using a stylesheet. To do this, you would need to use the QTabBar::close-button selector, which is documented in the Qt Style Sheets Reference.
I have created .icns using .iconset for my Mac app,containing all sizes of icon recommended by apple. But still I cannot see my app icon when I install and launch my app on Mac osX 10.5
Following Apple's current guidelines and using their latest toolset will give you icons that only work in newer versions of OS X. To get a set of icons that includes larger (#2x retina) resolutions and 10.5 compatible image formats, you need to use Uli Kusterer's oldiconutil.
Also, please see this related question--sometimes icon file sizes can be too large for 10.5, and require extra image compression.
How can you simulate a retina display (HiDPI mode) in Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion on a non-retina display?
Search for, download, and install Apple's free Additional Tools for Xcode 8 (for previous Xcode releases search for Graphics Tools for Xcode according to your version).
Note: free Apple Developer account required.
Launch Quartz Debug application.
Go to menu: Window ---> UI Resolution.
Check Enable HiDPI display modes.
Quit Quartz Debug.
Open System Preferences.
Select Displays icon.
If using multiple display, select the configuration window on the display you wish to simulate HiDPI mode on.
Under Resolution:, select Scaled radio button.
Find a desired resolution postfixed with (HiDPI) and select it.
Your display is now running in HiDPI mode, simulating a retina display.
Source: High Resolution Guidelines for OS X
I found the following instructions. It seems to work, and it is much easier than the Quartz Debug approach.
"Enable HiDPI mode in Mountain Lion w/o Quartz Debug"
https://gist.github.com/3191869
In brief, run the following commands, log out, log on, and the HiDPI resolutions are available in the display preferences:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver DisplayResolutionEnabled -bool YES
sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver DisplayResolutionDisabled
(In my case the first command was enough; the second command just prints an error message.)
Edit: (5/31/2016)
For users trying to do this on El Capitan, please read the FAQ on SwitchRes's website. Also, if something's still not working after you did all the steps in the FAQ, consider uninstalling and reinstalling SwitchResX. That solved the issue I was having on one of my laptops.
Original:
After reading through several forums, websites, blogs.
I am here to present a solution for users with 15" MacBook Pro with Retina display connected to a Thunderbolt Display.
First of all,
Terminal command of modifying plist
Quartz Debug
Holding option and select "Scaled" in System Preferences
ResolutionTab (Mac App Store)
These methods DO NOT work for MBPr with Thunderbolt Display, for whatever reasons.
You will not see the HiDPI options to be selected.
The only tool I found that actually gives us the options is SwitchResX.
However another problem exists here.
Most users with this setup, I believe, are trying to use 1280x720 HiDPI because it's half the native resolution of the TBD.
According SwitchResX's FAQ, in some cases it is not possible to set to this resolution because of a bug within OS X itself.
Here's a screenshot for your reference:
After contacting the developer, he presented a workaround - adding one more pixel - which worked for me.
Install SwitchResX and open it from System Preferences.
Go to Thunderbolt Display tab, and add a Custom Resolutions with Scaled Resolution at 2562 x 1440
Here's a screenshot
Save using command + s. (or simply close the window and use the prompt up)
Restart the laptop.
Go to SwitchResX and select the new custom resolution in the Current Resolution tab. (Sometimes it doesn't show up right away, play around with it and it should.)
Here you go.
I hope this answer gets to users with this setup because it is really frustrating to use 16:10 resolution on a 16:9 display.
For those unable to enable HIDPI on rMBP or new MBA, I experienced the same on my rMBP 15" with Air Display. I solved the problem by installing SwitchResX. With the boolean setting enabled as shown in the referenced gist, the HIDPI setting shows up.
Dragging seems a little laggy in Air Display, but otherwise works great.
Try this
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver DisplayResolutionEnabled -bool YES
[from here]
If your monitor supports it, it may also be worth setting the DisplayPort version to 1.1 instead of 1.2.
I have a late 2010 Mac Air with a Samsung S27D850 display and had all sorts of intermittent resolution switching issues until I made that change.
As for me its pretty good app that give you opportunity for changing resolution any that you want.
SwitchResX for Mac and MacBook.
This app resolved all my problems with resolution.
Here's my setup
Mac OS X 10.6
VIM (default version that comes with OSX 10.6)
rails.vim (installed in .vim/autoload)
ir_black.vim (installed in .vim/colors)
i have "colorscheme ir_black" and "syn on" in ~/.vimrc
Now when I go into terminal and edit a ruby file with vim my colors are messed up. There are only a few colors showing up and some text is even blinking. I'm wondering if there's a conflict between rails.vim syntax highlighting and the ir_black color scheme? Can anyone help me fix this? I would like to use the ir_black color scheme.
The Mac OSX Terminal.app in Snow Leopard does not support 256 colors, which is required for the ir_black theme (this is the theme I use).
Download and try something like iTerm.app (http://iterm.sourceforge.net/), and you shouldn't have a problem with colors.
Or you could use MacVim (http://code.google.com/p/macvim/)
Edit: As of OSX 10.7 Lion, the built in Terminal.app now supports 256 colors. See the comment below by Chris Page for how to achieve this.
I've been using a nearly identical setup, except for vim, which I grab from Macports. A few years ago I found ir_black and loved it. I now use it for all vim sessions, Terminal.app, and TextMate. Getting it to work with Leopard, and then Snow Leopard was a tad hokey. But things have improved. Follow the instructions here, Making Terminal.app look great in Snow Leopard.
As mentioned by others, ir_black requires 256 colors, which is not supported by Terminal on 10.6.x and earlier.
As of Mac OS X Lion 10.7, Terminal now supports 256 colors and the default $TERM value is xterm-256colors. ir_black should work fine for you if you upgrade to Lion.
on testing which colors can be displayed in your terminal of choice:
i just found this perl script on vim.org which dumps a list of 256 colors your terminal could possibly display...
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1349
I have been using iTerm and was shocked to find out Terminal.app doesn't support 256 colors! I recommend Bryan's answer.
However, if you ever get in a bind like this, you can change $TERM to vt100 and vim won't try to use colors. In bash (the default MacOSX shell) you set this with:
export TERM='vt100'
I use ir_black in Terminal.app but in 16 color mode, and it looks great. If you really prefer 256 color, I recommend iTerm2. The settings allow you to have the terminal report itself as "xterm-256" which is what's needed to use 256 colors in Vim.
Check this website for the procedure:
http://kevin.colyar.net/2011/01/pretty-vim-color-schemes-in-iterm2
There is a ir_black-based Vim theme called tir_black which is better suited for 256 colors:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2777
Looks awesome!
iTerm2 also has loads of nifty features.
I hope this helps.
I had the same issue with iTerm and solved it by going to Settings > Profile > Terminal > Report Terminal Type and setting it to xterm-256color.
