design question

Post by MarcVanCauwenberghe » Tue Aug 13, 2013 3:16 pm

Hi,

a very basic, practical question. How does one design for an iPad having a resolution of 2048×1536?

Regards,
Marc

Hi Marc,
Your very basic question will get a very basic answer.

You open a new stack and start designing.

But I think you may be asking about your desktop screen resolution being to low for designing for the retina display?

Hi Marc,
There is this:

But I think that uses older code, look up mobilePixelDensity() in the dictionary.

Specifically to the question of "How can I see the full retina display on my desktop?" I've used non-retina stacks and scale up to retina when on the device. Using the emulator you can adjust the magnification level.
