The new Pixelmator 2.1 is really nice, by the way...you create can create any canvas up to 2880x1800 and it shows it at 100% using native resolution, and you can work with and edit images up to that resolution full screen at 1:1 -- it's very nice to finally have a program that will let Retina display MBP owners do this. Photoshop doesn't.

Adobe Flash Player just had an update that makes it retina compatible where before it was blurry, even though the update notes do not mention this.

EDIT: Only in Safari, though.

Just updated Steam and it looks like text rendering is now smooth, the difference is night and day.

The windows and all other graphics are still blurry though, and the store text is because its run off a webpage within the application.

Retinizer

Hi guys, I tried the retinizer utility that one of the member of the forum developed, if you look for retinizer you'll find it. Apart for some possible glitches many applications are actually vasted improved in appearance at least the text becomes sharp. The process is completely reversible (it just adds a key in your bundle identifier) and the app lets you both retinize and unretinize in case of problems. May be worth a try.
 
Microsoft Office

microsoft office really should have retina support...
 
Smarter screenshot capturing on Retina Macs.

RetinaCapture (free right now)

RetinaCapture makes this easy by simultaneously taking a 1x and 2x resolution screenshot and saving both to a single directory. And since the 1x screenshot is redrawn at the lower resolution rather than scaled, everything looks crisp.

A Retina Mac is required to take 2x resolution screenshots. HiDPI mode works too.

Anybody hear anything about Firefox making the jump? I dont mind Chrome, but i'm used to Mozilla's browser. Although Safari, with its new improvements isn't bad either :p
