           Summary: Allow CSS access to display pixels (feature request)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: drackett at mac.com


at the moment there is no way in css to make a 1 pixel border or effect on a retina display. This makes some effects look bolder than intended, and reduce the level of control with CSS.

At the moment my solution is to use images for these effects, but I'd love to do them directly in CSS instead. I wonder if a new unit might be used:

border: solid black 1dpx (display pixel)

or maybe just changing pixels to support a half value:

border: solid black 0.5px
