Visual Effect Issue on Retina Display
Posted: Wed Jun 06, 2012 6:56 pm
Hello Dear LiveCoders,
I'm using the iphoneUseDeviceResolution true, true command in my apps.
Graphics are shown excellent, look and feel is fine.
However, visual effects are horrible.
If I prefer not to use iphoneUseDeviceResolution true, true command,
everything is smooth and works as expected, nothing's wrong.
Except
the overall quality of look and feel.
It's not crisp anymore, rather blurry and grainy.
Because of, you know, interpreting and interpolating 1 point as 2 px and blah blah...
It's like setting the screen resolution of a 1920*1200 monitor to 800*600
Well, below are some of issues on retina.
But beyond them,
all of my apps which use the above command crash constantly whenever a visual effect is to begin.
So, it crashes and crashes and crashes and...
I say "¡Hola, it didn't crash
"
but then again, one of the following issues
Please reply and comment and help
* Hiding a group and showing another one in the same card {with visual effect of course},
the effect occur only top 1/4th of the screen. I guess it thinks that it's operating in a non-retina display.
The rest of the screen, i.e 3/4th of it, keep the old group, which should have been hidden.
Voila, a scrambled screen
* Changing the cards with visual effect, it's slow as a turtle, I mean rrrgh 
* Changing the filename property of an image when user swiped on it,
for an image slide view, it's slow and chunky;
and most of the time only a portion of image change.
As a result, a weird mixture of two different images is shown.
Well, again, voila, a much more scrambled screen
* This one is a real bummer.
I use iPhone Scroller Control a lot.
For example,
there is a Latest News section on my homepage.
It's appr. 200px*300px; and user should be able to scroll it up & down.
Except, they cannot!
It's either too slow and jumpy or it doesn't work at all.
One can see the indicator going up & down but the content keep same.
Any help, idea, comment, guess, anything much appreciated
Thanks....
