Most modern Macs have very high resolution Retina displays, and the desktop resolution is downscaled so that text and graphics do not look too tiny. For example, a Macbook Air can have an actual hardware display resolution of 2560 x 1600, but the desktop resolution by default will be 1680 x 1050. | Most modern Macs have very high resolution Retina displays, and the desktop resolution is downscaled so that text and graphics do not look too tiny.

On a fresh installation of the game on macOS, Vintage Story will make an initial guess at a reasonable scaling factor for the in-game GUI, including the main menu and the Settings menu. From game version 1.19.2 this guess is reasonably good, but if it seems wrong the normal solution is to go to the in-game Settings / Interface menu and change it; the Settings menu can be accessed either from the Main Menu or in-game from the Pause menu. | On a fresh installation of the game on macOS, Vintage Story will make an initial guess at a reasonable scaling factor for the in-game GUI, including the main menu and the Settings menu.

Occasionally | Occasionally the GUI scaling might initially be so large on some Retina displays that it causes the Settings menu Interface tab to be off-screen, making it impossible to adjust the GUI scaling in-game. To fix this problem, exit the game, find the [[Installing_the_game_on_MacOS#Game_data_folder|data folder]], and edit the <code>clientsettings.json</code> file in a decent text editor. Search for the <code>"guiScale": </code> setting and set it to a lower value, like 1.0 or 0.75. (You need a text editor which can edit a plain text file, such as ''Notepad++'', ''Brackets'', or ''Sublime Text''. Do not use the macOS in-built TextEdit, that one writes in rtf format which can really mess things up!) | ||
