Bug 1023511 and bug 1023517 cover a lot of HiDPI theme work that either already exists in the OS X theme (for Retina), or soon will.
But there are other changes that will be needed on Windows, for things that don't exist or don't apply to other platforms.
From a survey of our current UI on Windows, this roughly includes:
- Page Info section icons
- Full-screen mode window widgets (extreme upper-right)
- Application icon in the taskbar
- Image assets in the installers
- large panel images in the stub installer
- regular installer left-side image and icon.
A few things that may be platform bugs, or that I didn't see specifically covered in the Retina work:
- Twisty arrows in <tree> expanders (eg in bookmarks sidebar)
- The arrow in menuitems with a submenu is hidpi but really tiny. But I also
saw this in some native Windows apps. Not sure if this is expected, or just
a bug with Windows 7's incomplete HiDPI support?
Finally, we should probably have a UX review for any other desired HiDPI theme changes. As a specific example, I noticed that Windows apps tend to frequently use superfine borders (1 physical pixel) in various places (like scrollbars and textfields), whereas most of our Retina UI has retained using 1 CSS pixel (== 2 physical pixels, consistent with other OS X stuff, but not Chrome).
