Hi Bogdan, thank you for your assistance. I’ll be looking forward to any updates on the matter.

Hello and thanks for the answer.

There really isn’t such thing as Retina, it’s all about the DPI of the monitor. You can easily use a Windows computer with a 2K or 4K display (high DPI), which usually requires graphics of higher resolution. For websites, it means they have to be set up so that they feed the high-res versions of images to both 2K and 4K dospalys, otherwise they look blurry. It seems like Newspaper is set so that it works well in this regard with 4K displays, but doesn’t feed high-res versions to a device with 2K monitor. However, the 2K monitor means Windows runs at 125% scaling, which means higher-res media than standard is needed for graphics to look well. The problem is Newspaper doesn’t show the hi-res media for a 2K monitor (around 117 PPI) in both Edge and Chrome. For some reason, it only does so in Firefox.

Hello, I’ve experimented a bit more, and found that the site switches to Retina images if I zoom the browser to 150% (or set the display to 150% scaling).

I’m using a 2560 x 1440 px monitor, with default Windows and browser scaling at 125%, and it seems the Newspaper theme doesn’t load the retina images in Chrome and Edge at 125% zoom; it starts doing so at 150%. For some reason, it does load the retina images at 125% zoom in Firefox.

From this additional bit of info, could you help me out and let me know if there’s an easy fix I can do, so that the theme starts showing the retina images at 125% scaling?

Hello, I’ve cleared the browser cache and tried from a different machine, the resilts are the same: Edge and Chrome show low-res featured images and thumbnails, and only Firefox shows the retina versions. Most pictures inside posts show up correctly, but post thumnails and featured pics showing on the homepage and all over the site are the low-res versions on Edge and Chrome.
