Texts are blurry when I migrated Android Studio to a higher resolution display

is there any way I can change the resolution of Android Studio? recently I migrate my Android Studio from rMBP 13' to rMBP 15' and the text is blurry. I tried to change its resolution hoping to fix it but found no way to do. do you guys met with this before? enter image description here

Solution

  • There's a known issue with IntelliJ and Android Studio on MacOS that only Apple's JDK does proper subpixel antialiasing in its rendering. If you're using an Oracle JDK, then the rendering is not as good.

    Unfortunately, this means that the only Java version with good rendering is 1.6; Oracle picked up MacOS support for JDK 1.7 and 1.8.

    The good news is that you don't have to use the same JDK to run Android Studio as what you actually use to build; if you have Apple's JDK 1.6 installed, you can use it to run Android Studio, but you can configure Java 1.7 to build with; the latter you configure via the Project Structure dialog.

    You can find the relevant bug in IntelliJ's bug tracker at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-117324
