Here is a quick fix to make RStudio look much nicer on the new Retina MacBook Pro (copied from: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=382972). The plot window is still pixel doubled but everything else is HiDPI (see attachment for the difference it makes):

---

Do "Show package contents" on the RStudio.app. Edit Contents/Info.plist. Just above

Place this:

NSHighResolutionCapable

Then, log out or make a copy of the app so that OSX will notice the change.

   Here is the fix again, this time escaping the appropriate bits so it is displayed correctly:

   Do "Show package contents" on the RStudio.app. Edit Contents/Info.plist. Just above

   </dict>
   </plist>
   

   Place this:

   <key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key>
   <true/>
   

   Then, log out or make a copy of the app so that OSX will notice the change.

   Super Great! Can we do something with the plots?

   Daniel,

   Thanks for posting a workaround for now and I've also filed a bug for us to look into this more from our end.
