hi
in the release notes (http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/28835/release-notes/) of jw 6.6 i found "Support for 2x retina skins across desktop and mobile".
is there any documentation how to implement/create jw retina skins?
They should be added by default.
thx
is there any specification how icons (controlbar etc.) for the jw skin should be implemented (size, format etc.) suitable for retina devices
Np
Nothing special needs to be done. Just use the latest player and a new skin.
sorry but i think i don't get it :-)
possibly my question was not quite clear
i want to create an own customized skin, are there guidelines what size and what format player icons need to be (suitable for retina devices)

I would also be interested in an answer to this question (the documentation doesn't mention how to adress this issue):
Do you mean that for each icon we only have to put a second .png file with the suffix "@2x" in each folder and this 2x-icon will then be chosen automatically on retina devices (e. G. "nextButton.png" and "nextButton@2x.png")?
You do not need to make skin icons that have @2x in them for retina displays.
what a silly answer.
Enlighten me please.
But if I do not add extra retina @2x images then the normal resolution images would just be scaled up and blurry. That's not retina ready. As we are all puzzled here: could you please give us an example what you mean?
Thanks a lot!
The default skin has images that should look okay on a retina device as of 6.8. If you have a license, you can email us for the source – http://www.jwplayer.com/contact-us/
