Comment (by empireoflight):

 OK, I'm going through these now...

 Replying to [comment:58 helenyhou]:
 > == What's left: ==

 > Everything below needs 2x versions, likely .png files (smushed, please,
 and review the size of the original as well), source files (PSD, AI, or
 EPS, sliced and/or layered when appropriate), and a patch, which will
 probably be mostly CSS. Would love if we could aim for not increasing the
 overall package size too much - reviewing the compression of existing
 images is a good place to do that as well.

 > Really, anything in those images folders could use a 2x version for real
 retina support, but the following seem to be the most noticeable.

 > Some things can be done with CSS. Comment bubbles come to mind, as well
 as gradients. See #16461 for gradients.

 > * '''Date/calendar icon''' (from publish metabox) - need to determine
 which versions to use; [attachment:21019.curtime.diff] exists at the
 moment for a patch, may need position tweaking depending on what's chosen.
 > * '''Arrows''' - empireoflight uploaded one version here of the gray. We
 need three more - dark gray, blue (-vs), and dark blue.
 > * '''Media buttons''' - there are five of them, the most important being
 `media-button.png`. Need 2x + PSD with both sizes. Maybe consider generic
 classes in the admin CSS for plugins/themes to use to get the retina
 benefit, since we are keeping the other four icons due to high plugin
 usage (see #20980)
 > * '''Generic admin menu icon''' - this is generic.png
 > * '''Image edit icons'''
 > * '''Press This icon'''
 > * '''Ratings stars'''
 > * '''Spinners''' - these are mostly the `wpspin_*.gif` files, but there
 are a couple others that need a review and might not be used at all (see
 #20980 again). The dark one could really just use a redraw, or be dropped
 from core (see #20957). The light one wouldn't hurt from a redraw, either
 :)
 > * '''xit.gif'''
 >
 > === `wp-includes/images` ===
 >
 > * '''Media library/mimetype icons''' - we have the video one from
 empireoflight, but looking more closely, these are from the
 [http://www.everaldo.com/crystal/?action=downloads Crystal icon set]. We
 should just regenerate from the largest set and hand-hint the resized
 versions (some really look terrible resized down, notably the music/midi
 one), unless somebody wants to do a real redraw in a more WP style. If
 hand-hinting from the Crystal set, would like a PSD with both sizes of
 each icon.
 > * '''Admin pointer''' - blue arrow and flag icon
 > * '''RSS icon''' - might even be worth using a new one entirely for both
 sizes
 > * '''xit.gif''' - as above
 >
 >
 > And finally, if somebody wants to grab the current 2x version of the
 TinyMCE editor icons and move the pieces of the
 [http://design.svn.wordpress.org/production/wp-includes/images/wpicons-
 2x.tinymce.psd PSD in the design repo] around, that would be great. chexee
 or I can commit the tweaked version. Would love to see the 1x version in
 PSD form if it exists as well. Source files for everything!
 >
 > If I've missed anything, feel free to chime in. Just wanted to get a
 feel for where we are now and have a list to point to when getting people
 involved.
