I was just looking up what’s new in 5.6, here’s the list…
"New features since 5.5:
HiDPI support, for a smooth and sharp user interface regardless of screen size. Scaling in RawTherapee depends on font size, DPI and display scaling. No scaling occurs when the font size is set to 9pt, DPI is set to 96 (or 72 for macOS) and scaling is set to 1 (100%).
“Unclipped” processing profile, to make it easy to save an image while preserving data across the whole tonal range, Unclipped - RawPedia
User-adjustable tiles-per-thread settings in Preferences > Performance, for users who want to perform performance benchmarks to find optimal values for their system. The default value of 2 tiles-per-thread performs best overall.
Hundreds of speed optimizations, bug fixes, and overall improvements.
It looks like the button size and spacing is to much for most users.
I can try to make the buttons and spacing a bit smaller on the weekend for the RT- and TWB-theme.
@Hombre - unfortunately I don’t have a working build environement for RawTherapee at the moment. If someone could make a build of the icon-size-fix branch for macOS available, I’d be happy to try it.
rc1 seems to be built with GTK 3.24.1:

Running rc1 with verbose=true produces a lot of output, the only bit I can see relevant to UI layout is:
As I need to make a decision regarding the release of RawTherapee 5.6, I have questions:
Is it possible to get the unpatched 5.6-rc1 build to look good (icons and text at a decent size) in macOS 10.14? If so, how?
Does the issue with icons being too large compared to the text happen only in macOS 10.14, or also in other versions of macOS and other operating systems?
Note to everyone: please be explicit and provide details regarding which OS and version you’re testing or what you’re showing in screenshots. Don’t leave things up to guesswork.
These are on macOS 10.14.5ß18F108f. I think the rc1 looks fine on 1080p, icons being large in icon-size-fix. I suppose there is more to do with icon size/padding and mac resolution, @Hombre. I got the impression that there was a problem using the Retina display (4K/5K etc) on mac laptops and those monitors in general. The command system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType will output the info about the GPUs and displays. So for those with a Retina display, that would be indicated, where mine below says 1080p. Maybe the program could take advantage of that info?
$ system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType

On my mac (its a retina MacBook Pro). macOS version is Mojave 10.14.4. system_profiler doesn’t tell you, but the display is scaled to look like 1680x1050 (according to the Displays System Preferences panel).
According to Cocoa, the backingScaleFactor for this display is 2.0 and the display frame is 1680x1050
When I change the main font size, it gets much bigger and then shrinks again after I quit/relaunch RT. After relaunching RawTherapee, the text size in the user interface is correct (i.e. 9 point text is the same size as 9 point text in native mac applications), but the icons look too big. Immediately after you change the text size in the RawTherapee preferences, it is much bigger.
Here is a screen shot of the preferences window before and after changing the main font size from 9 to 10 and then back to 9 again, without restarting RawTherapee:
Notice that the font ends up approximately 2x too big.
If I restart RawTherapee, it returns to the ‘before’ size.
I guess the icons are about 2x too large when running on a Retina display on macos.
When I change between the various display scaling modes available on macos, the RawTherapee UI keeps the same relative proportion of text and icons, it just gets bigger or smaller.
Just had a save warning in 5.6 RC1. Was saving a DNG from the other thread about wrong colours (overexposed highlights and recovered details but pink sky - posted by dsdsd) as a TIFF which saved fine but got this console warning.
