Retina
I noticed that Whatpulse isn't retina ready on my Mac, how about optimizing the images for HiDPI screens? (Or at least the black menubar icon)

RE: Retina
Strange, on my rMBP mid 2014 with Mavericks the black W looks very fuzzy in retina mode, icons inside the app aswel.

RE: Retina
I also have a Retina Display MacBook Pro. I run it at 1440x900@2x (2880x1800) for OS X Mavericks, Windows 8 Pro, and Ubuntu 14.04.1. For the remainder of my reply, I will be referencing OS X when I talk about using WhatPulse as it is my primary OS.
The icon has never been clear. I've poked around with the application a bit, and I can't seem to find an asset for the menubar icon (The only thing I really care about being Retina/HiDPI). For version 1.x of WhatPulse, I was able to swap the menubar PNG for a higher resolution that I made (using the same filename with an "@2x" after the name before the extension), but version 2 of WhatPulse came out shortly after and I haven't found a solution yet. From what I can tell, version 2 uses a "W" image for the base, and either draws a solid circle on the side or uses a circle image for the keystroke/click activity. All three of these would need to be updated to have Retina support for the menubar. With rumors of a Retina Display iMac coming out soon, and Retina Display MacBook Pros being out for over two years now, I thinks it's critical to update the app to support Retina/HiDPI displays. Many many Windows laptops/ultrabooks also have HiDPI displays, and putting off support for it dramatically decreases the overall value of the application. Attached is a screenshot of how the menubar icon looks. It has, for a while, been the only app on my menubar to not support Retina Displays. Edit: Further poking around has led me to see that the UI is indeed supporting Retina Displays on the Mac client. The images inside of the app however, do not. I attached a screenshot of the keyboard icon, which is a good example of how bad a non HiDPI image looks. As long as higher resolution images can be supplied, I don't think it's too hard to add support for them. Client 2.4.1 seems to be built with QT 5.3 with has support for Retina images (since 5.1). |

It's very annoying to look at a fuzzy icon. |
