I think if I proposed 5 years ago that we'd be using 240 DPI screens and we should start shipping icons 16 times as large on disk for this case I don't think I would have achieved anything. > Just ask for something like (1024x1024 bitmap or a SVG/PDF) by F22 Beta, to give us some future proofing, perhaps? SVG isn't a silver bullet. You need a very different source SVG for a 16px icon to a 256px icon just due to the amount of detail that has to be ommitted. > (And I always thought that HiDPI is trying to keep the screen size of elements You can either sacrifice quality or size; padding a 32px icon to 128px with a giant white border would keep the icon crisp and sharp, but scaling it up *4 would make it the right size, but with awful quality.
