Background Ever since I first used a MacBook Pro with Retina display back in 2013, I’ve been madly in love with hi-DPI displays. I had seen the device before, and marvelled at brilliant font quality with which scientific papers would be rendered. But it wasn’t until I had a chance to use the device for a few hours to make i3 compatible with hi-DPI displays that I realized what a difference it makes in the day-to-day life.
