 in.

 the spinner, rather than 2px as you have it, since that's how all the
 other 2x icons are.

 Glad you like them.

 I'm concerned about using 1px border weights for retina screens. Keep in
 mind, the point of retina is that the pixel size remains the same, its
 density is just 2x higher. Which means if I were to make a 1px border
 width for the retina version spinner, when seen on a retina screen it
 would look like "half a pixel". So not only would it be stylistically
 different from the 1x version, the border width would be so thin it would
 be almost non existant. A colleage of mine has one of the new Macbooks,
 I've seen the pixels. They're REALLY small :)
