The home button in the toolbar is huge compared to the rest, and the UI generally looks wrongly fitted together. I suspect Qt needs to be upgraded to a version that supports hi-dpi displays or something like that.
UI is somewhat broken on retina displays #3292

It's too bad that we lost support for Qt5 with the autoconf switch. I would think Qt5 handles this better.

Qt5 and up have explicitly better retina or high DPI support AFAIK. We should really switch to Qt5.1 for our release builds and pull tester...

Right, sorry.

Though depending on how much things have changed since and how critical it is, such changes could be back-ported. But the next release will likely be 0.9.0rc1, not 0.8.7.

@mikehearn Can you re-check if this is solved with current master and Qt 5.2?

Is there a way to force configure to use qt 5? I installed it via brew but configure still sees qt4 even after i specified the custom --with-qt-libdir --with-qt-incdir flags

--with-gui=qt5

Looks good on my retina MBP when building with Qt5. Icons are not HiDPI. I try to fix them, and see if i can somehow use a higher resolution icon.
Will Qt5 will be the default GUI environment?

@jonasschnelli Autoconf currently picks qt4 if both qt4 and qt5 are installed, but I think that should be qt5.
Distributed executables for MacOSX and Windows use qt5. Linux is still qt4.
We don't want to break qt4 compatibility for the foreseeable future.
