[webkit-dev] Double-Resolution (Retina) Images - Re: -webkit-image-set

[Maciej Stachowiak]

It would be more readable to use:

@media screen and (min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) { … }

The -webkit-image-set proposal explains why it is a useful shorthand despite the existing device pixel ratio option.

Regards,
Maciej
