Retina compatibility – Analysis results

How to read these results:

• The first column shows which keys were used for the icon (format: @1x+@2x)
• There are two test suits:
  • retina (@1x: red-color, @2x: test-pattern) used in: icns @2x and icns @1x
  • retina-other (@1x: test-pattern, @2x: yellow-color) used in: app @1x
  • This allows to see when an icon uses @1x instead of @2x and vice versa.

app @2x

There is no app-@2x test because the VM has no support for Retina displays. And there is no way to simulate Retina because qlmanage can’t be run on .app bundles.

app @1x

Marked correct, if the thumbnail shows the RGB test-pattern (@1x).

Note: None of the icons shows a solid yellow color (@2x).

¹ macOS 26 shows these 4 app icons with rounded corners. All other icons are inset and padded (ugly).

icns @2x

Marked correct, if the thumbnail shows the RGB test-pattern (@2x).

Note: Cells with “@1x” show the non-retina icon instead (solid red color).
