Web Design Retina Display

  • The new laptop, which Apple unveiled last week, already has Web designers and developers trying to figure out how they're going to create sites and Web apps that look good on the new machine without leaving the rest of the Web's population behind.
  • One of the key advantages of these high-resolution displays is their crisp, highly readable rendering of text. That particular buck stops with the Web browsers, which are much more varied on the desktop than on mobile devices. Naturally, Safari supports retina-friendly text, but Chrome is still working on it, and other browsers will presumably follow.

  • To deal with this issue, Web developers can borrow from some of their tried-and-true methods. For years, websites have used browser detection to deliver different CSS stylesheets to different browsers. A similar approach is used to craft responsive designs - when sites load different layouts depending on the device being used to view it. Likewise, this sort of tactic could be used to handle graphics
  • That's exactly what they're doing at O3 World, an interactive agency based in Philadelphia. To account for different screen resolutions, they've begun creating multiple sets of graphics, which are delivered dynamically, depending on the user's screen resolution.
