UI is blurry on MacOS after 1.8.1

Bug

Hi, I usually download the small version from

https://satisfactorymodeler.itch.io/satisfactorymodeler and run it with “

java -jar modeler.jar”. After 1.8.1, the UI is blurry. I tried many parameter iterations provided by Gemini, but nothing improves the situation; the UI remains blurry. I’m running the app on a MacBook Air M1.

    Java does scaling on macs differently than on windows/linux and historically retina displays have had longer and more native support. On a mac, scaling applies to the render buffer, not the actual on-screen dimensions (java docs), so if you’re trying to disable that native scaling you might just be affecting only the draw resolution, not the actual displayed size, which would make it fuzzy.

    I love Satisfactory Modeler and would love to help. If you’re willing to try a build that doesn’t attempt to disable scaling on mac I’d be happy to try it. I’d also be happy to screen share or something so you can poke at it on a mac.

    BTW you can’t really disable retina scaling on macOS, so that’s not an option for folks.

    That would be the OS automatically enlarging it. The modeler tries to detect when the OS is doing that and disable it as it has it’s own built in, much better zooming. There is nothing that has changed in the modeler recently that would effect this. Try disabling scaling in your OS. I do not have a mac to test on to figure out how to bypass this on MacOS.
