Retina graphics?

[lexrus]

I can't ignore the roughness on my Retina Macbook Pro.

[masonk]

Can you be more specific? I haven't noticed anything the matter on mine. What exactly is the problem? Which skin are you using? If you haven't already, check out http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html.

[lexrus]

It's very clear that the developer should add @2x-sized artworks for Retina display.

[pjrobertson]

It's certainly something we need to do, yes.

As for when, unfortunately we cannot say. Most of us are coders and not graphic designers so we'll need to consider our options.

I could volunteer to do this.

I quickly looked in the repository and only found the low-res versions of the images. Anyone in the know could point me to the origin of (some of) the images ?

[pjrobertson]

Thank you very much for volunteering, but please do not worry about this.
We are working on it ;-)

Sounds good ! Thanks for doing it !

Let me know if I can help in any way.

[skurfer]

I don't suppose you want to tackle the images in the iTunes plug-in? :-)

What you see in the repo/plug-in is what we have, so it might involve creating things from scratch in many cases.

@skurfer Why not !

Quick question : I didn't see where the equalizer icon is used. Is it needed ?

[pjrobertson]

It's used in Preferences > Catalog > Plugins > iTunes > iTunes Equalizer Presets, if I remember correctly.
Not sure if it's used anywhere else, Rob will know.
If it isn't, then I think the icon could be re-designed, since it doesn't scale down to a 16x16px icon that well.

Btw - awesome!
@skurfer quite rightly pointed out that we are sorted for the core app (and the internal plugins) but feel free to get your hands dirty with any other plugins :)

[skurfer]

Yes, it's used for the related catalog and trigger presets, and if you enable it in the catalog, it gets assigned to each EQ setting you have in iTunes. That one probably needs redoing more than any of them, as all I did was grab an image of the window. It's terrible. :-) Thanks for helping out!

Graphics should be retina now in ß71

We're still working on the last few, but the majority are done.

[thepaul]

I'm probably missing something, but I have ß71 and pretty much all the icons still look very rough. Here's a screenshot of the menu bar icon:

Is this ticket intended to be for something else?

[pjrobertson]

Hmm... seems like you're right. Whilst we have the icons sitting here, they weren't included in the release package. We'll make sure they're there for the next release.

Reopening

[skurfer]

Yeah, I had to add them to a branch and add them to the Xcode project the other day. (Nice problem to have.)

I thought we were waiting on Dan to finish the rest before putting them in.

[pjrobertson]

Yeah, maybe we were - keeping them for 1.0 is probably better anyway.
...although I did tweet about new retina icons. Seems like nobody notices :/

P.S. stop showing off Rob ;-)

Another thing we need to fix in this area is the way icons are created for various sizes. Here's a side-by-side of the same album cover in Finder vs. Quicksilver.

Is this a QSResourceManager thing?

I think we need to change the NSImage category, but it’s probably not confined to that.

Update This probably has the answer: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/GraphicsAnimation/Conceptual/HighResolutionOSX/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012302-CH1-SW1

[skurfer]

Have you had a chance to look at the icons in the iTunes plug-in @fblaser?

[asmeurer]

The gear open icon could be sharper.
