Help Book icon — retina?


  • Subject: Help Book icon — retina?

Apple's Help Book documentation suggests using a 16x16 icon for the icon pointed to by HPDBookIconPath:

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/ProvidingUserAssitAppleHelp/authoring_help/authoring_help_book.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000903-CH206-CIHDHGCJ

However, this will obviously be far too small on a Retina Display. So, I'm wondering what the current best practice is:

1. What size should we be using now for the HPDBookIconPath icon? Intuition would suggest 32x32, since that would be double the old guidelines, but Safari, Mail, and iTunes all seem to be using 64x64 icons.

2. Is there any way to specify separate icons for retina and non-retina resolutions? Does the icon.png and email@hidden trick work here, or should I just resign myself to giving the non-retina users a blurry icon?

Thanks,
Charles
