Is there a way to run genymotion in hidpi mode?

I am trying to run genymotion on rMBP in HiDPI mode. Apparently, my version of Virtualbox already has a <key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key> <true/> set to Contents / Info.plist

Still genymotion does scale the vm to 200%, which not only makes everything look pretty blurry, but also adds blur when zoomed out.

I am using Virtualbox 4.3.2 and genymotion 1.3.1 on OSX 10.9.

It is currently not supported (Genimotion 2.2.2).

From a reading of Genymotion:

Sam Soffes @Genymotion any Retina Mac support plans?

Genymotion @soffes is absolute, but it will take some time since we need to change a lot of things to support HiDef screens.


Update: Genymotion now fully supports Retina screen resolutions [Version 2.7.0] .

Genymotion uses VirtualBox under the hood, and they probably will never support the correct HiDPI rendering due to erroneous reasoning (for example, "other OSs are not aware of HiDPI, so the image needs to be scaled").

Although I'm not sure if VirtualBox is really used for image rendering ... if not, then VirtualBox rendering problems are probably not a problem.
