  Hello,

  I am really shocked to see flexform is not truly retina ready. Can you please explain me how it is retina ready ?? http://flexform.swiftideas.net/features/#header

  Here is my theme
  http://montag.mystagingwebsite.com/
  I made the background images retina ready, check the CSS I have added. Can u please guide me how I can make the inline images retina ready in my theme ??

  Hi Axle,

  The theme is retina-ready, but adding in custom images to the WordPress editor or background images which are added with user CSS will always need you to be responsible for setting the background-size for it to work.

  We recommend using the Single Image asset in the page builder when adding images – this is set up for retina output where needed.

  Thanks,

  – Ed

  We use a custom image resizing script that happens server side – so no slow loading through JS files. The script checks if a retina display is in use, and if so provides an image twice the resolution (if it’s there to use) else it shows the standard sized image.

  Yes they are, if you are using a retina device, and have uploaded a large enough image for it to be 2x.

  You don’t need to do anything else other than set the featured image with a large enough image.

  * This is just another way of down sampling by browser. What do you say ?
  * Or is there any scripting done in the theme ??

  The scripting is done server side. If retina display is detected by the theme’s image script javascript, then 2x images are served.

  I still didn’t get it. Did you mean, when we upload featured image. Flexform will make @2x version and use it on retina devices ??

  Note: I own retina device 🙂

  Yes, Flexform will use a 2x version if on a retina device, and the original image is large enough to be used for 2x.
