Hey, how exactly do the @2x image files work. Lets say I want the app to use a 1024x768 image for old devices and a 2048x1536 for new devices. Do I include 2 images in the project, one for each size, same name, but on also has a @2x in the end of the name (image1.png and <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>) . I set up the control panel to use image1.png for ipad, and if the app is a retina display, it will automatically load the <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> file? Is this it? Thanks.

Yes correct! As long as you give the file, the Xcode will do the rest. If you are using a retina device, it will automatically find the file and show it. As you said correctly, the size is double in btoh dimensions: image.png = 100 x 100 [email protected] = 200 x 200 splash.png (non-retina) = 320 x 480 splash@2x (retina) = 640 x 960 If you want to be really confusing, there is also an option for the iPhone 5: [email protected]

Thanks Thomas. If its for a background, why not have a gib image, 2048x1536 and then set the definition on the control panel to full screen keep ratio.

For background, you may as well have one, but for icons, you must have @2x.

What you mean for icons, for icons you might use on a menu?

Yep, you're right! Menu icons. Sorry for not clarifying.
