HTML: How do you develop for retina displays?

Tag: Linux,multimedia,WWWgoeszen @ 11:23 am

Web images, HTML and high DPI displays - or, how do you develop, write HTML, for "retina" displays, displays with more than the usual 72 dots per inch (DPI)? Images on mobile device displays sometimes look blurry. That's because smartphone displays are, for example on a Samsung Galaxy, 360 pixels wide - but, here's the […]

What's the difference between apple-touch-icon and apple-touch-icon-precomposed?

Tag: Linux,WWWgoeszen @ 9:33 pm

With apple-touch-icon vs. apple-touch-icon-precomposed, the difference is that apple-touch-icon is a square bland rendition of your logo or icon, without any shadows, rounded corners or glass effect applied - iOS will do that for you, in case it want to (looking at you iOS 7) - while apple-touch-icon-precomposed is the icon just as it will […]

Embedding Video natively into HTML is a dream come true, finally, with HTML5. But the video tag has it's own quirks. While Firefox mostly asks for ogg/theora video+audio and "just works", serving the right video to Apple+Safari users or users with Opera, IE, etc. on all sorts of hardware/devices gives us cause for new headaches […]
