SASS/SCSS mixin for hidpi/retina devices. Altered from work by @kaelig: https://github.com/kaelig/hidpi/blob/master/_hidpi.scss

_hidpi.scss

@import 'compass/css3';

// Create a media query for hidpi (retina) devices. If `$image` is provided,
// generates CSS that sets the image as a background for both normal and hidpi
// screens, assuming that the hidpi version ends with `@2x` before the file
// extension. `$extension` must be supplied separately because Sass does not
// yet support string substitution (defaults to png).
//
// Note: assumes a Rails 3.1 environment using the asset pipeline with compass
// installed. Only minimal changes are needed for it to work elsewhere.
//
// Code altered from: http://git.io/hidpi
//
// Example:
//
//   #logo {
//     @include hidpi('my-logo');
//   }
//
//   // Compiles to...
//
//   #logo {
//     background-image: url(/assets/my-logo.png);
//     width: 404px;
//     height: 362px;
//   }
//   @media (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.3),
//          (-o-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.6 / 2),
//          (min--moz-device-pixel-ratio: 1.3),
//          (min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.3),
//          (min-resolution: 1.3dppx) {
//     #logo {
//       background-image: url(/assets/my-logo@2x.png);
//       -webkit-background-size: 404px 362px;
//       -moz-background-size: 404px 362px;
//       -o-background-size: 404px 362px;
//       background-size: 404px 362px;
//     }
//   }
//
// You can omit `$image` to get only the media query, however both forms
// accept a content block to be included inside the media query:
//
//   @include hidpi {
//     background: red; // red background for hidpi devices!
//   }
//
