and what if you save it and then load the saved "post-retina" patch?  I

in the source file that would flag a patch wrt this.

Maybe take some screenshots of the main window, loading an old patch, 
loading a new patch, etc.  Then
post the screenshots somewhere on the web and put the links in this thread.
