About Retina Kit 3.0
The Retina Kit is a collection of Xojo classes and modules that were designed to make it easier for Xojo developers to create Retina ready applications with the Xojo development tool. The kit simplifies the process of loading and displaying Retina artwork by using the exact same APIs as an application created with Apple’s own tools. This allows a Xojo built application to enjoy the same benefits, such as loading artwork on demand and better memory management. Version 3 of the Retina Kit is 64-Bit and 32-Bit compatible, with several optimizations under the hood.
Also included are these features:
* Fallback code for Windows and Linux, reducing the amount of platform specific code required
* The new InterfaceKit module, aiding developers to create modern looking interfaces where possible
* System imageName & classicIcon constants, listing possible images supplied by the Mac OS that can be used in applications
* Tiling functions, demonstrates how to ’tile’ an image as a window texture/background
* NSVisualEffectView and NSLabel allow Xojo developers to adopt OS X Vibrancy (other functions are in the InterfaceKit module)
* Automatic window management on OS X
* Enhanced demo applications, illustrating more uses for the Retina Kit and providing sample code
