Comment (by 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.


 === CSS-it ===

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

 === `wp-admin/images` ===

 * '''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.
