GameSalad UI Problems

I've been experiencing this weird problem with both GameSalad 0.9.93 and 0.9.94 beta for Mac on OSX 10.7.4

Most test projects I open up, especially "Official Cross-Platform Controller Template" half of every character or button graphic is missing. Not sure why this is happening. Any ideas?

Not sure why this is happening. This is making GS pretty much unusable right now. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Only thing I can think of is OSX Lion, because I don't remember this happening on my older Mac.

I've uploaded a screenshot so you can see what I'm talking about:

Pretty much 75% of every graphic is missing or does not show up. They still work but this is making it very difficult to use.

Thanks

    @hipdeejay

    Hi, possibly because these graphics showing wrongly are sized for Resolution Independence, and are showing up not halved in size.

    So if that's the case, check Resolution Independence on the Home window.

    Thank you for the feedback. I clicked resolution independence but it didn't seem to change anything.

    This error occurs on any test project I open. Most of the graphics are cut off. Even with resolution independence checked. No idea why...

    It boggles the mind. What should I do?

    Not seeing it on my computer (OS X 10.7.4, GS 0.9.94, "Official Cross-Platform Controller Template"). Not sure what might be causing it, either.

    Could it be because I'm using one of the new retina Macbooks? Don't really see why it would cause this. Tried changing the resolution settings on my Mac but still nothing.

    Doesn't make sense. Even tried older versions of GS but no luck. Note this issue is for any project I try to open.

    I'm hoping someone from GS could help here...

    Any help? Kind of need to get some work done.... Also realized the missing graphics are unusable. So, for example, I can't use the missing parts of the button graphics in the screenshot I posted.

    Please... someone.. I'd really like to use GS....

    you need to run GS in low resolution mode on the new retina macbooks.

    What is "low resolution mode"? I've tried it with different resolution settings. Doesn't make a difference

    Just googled "low resolution mode" and it works now!!! Thank you so much! I can finally get back to work.

    If others experience this issue. You must select "get info" on the Game Salad app in your applications folder, then choose the "open in low resolution" box.

    Now everything works again like normal! So happy.

    Had no idea "low resolution mode" even existed.
