UI under development. Designs are subject to change.

We are focusing on two primary resolutions (at 1280@125dpi and 1366@150dpi), but should behave well on standard shipping netbooks.

For different DPIs we would support different multipliers:

  • <150 dpi

  • 150+ dpi

    • Use 1.25 Multiplier assets
    • Tabs are 30px tall with 24px icons
    • Examples:
  • 190+ dpi

    • Use 1.5 Multiplier assets
    • Tabs are 36px tall with 32px icons
    • Examples
  • >220 dpi (or devices magnified by the user)

    • Use vector based rendering
    • Tabs are 1/5 inches tall

Exceptions:

  • Devices seen at greater distances use higher multipliers
