I realize this will be at the bottom of everyone's to-do list, but will BOINC ever have high resolution imagery? I'm talking about the menubar icon and also the text in the manager.
Those of us with retina MacBook Pros would certainly appreciate it!

The text in the manager is just that: text. All up to and including BOINC 6.12, were the buttons in (simple view) BOINC Manager graphics, so the translators were unable to translate them. Since 7.0 all the buttons (both simple view and advanced view) are text, so easily to translate if needed.

So that leaves the menubar icon, which in the source code is icon.ico, which is 256px x 256px x 32bit. How much more high-res do you want it?
