1119846 - No HiDPI assets for Linux

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Andreas Nilsson (:andreasn)]

I recently got a new laptop with a HiDPI screen and once I set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx 2 things works great.
All the graphics is blurry due to upscaling though. On OSX this is solved with [e-mail] and a media rule of min-resolution: 2dppx

Another possible to the same solution is the one outlined in #1054016

I've started a branch here, but tons and tons of work left of course.

Note that creating a large and diverging fork of m-c makes it increasingly difficult to ever merge your changes into mainline Firefox. It would be _greatly_ preferred to do this work incrementally, as standard patches and reviews against mozilla-central. Submitting a giant patch-bomb isn't going to be accepted.

Certainly. I mostly wanted to mirror my local branch somewhere, as the machine with the hidpi screen I'm doing the work on is fairly unstable right now and I wouldn't be super-surprised if data loss happened on it at some point :)
How much should I split things up ideally? Should I do the toolbar in one patch, the pathbar in another etc?
