Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Screenshot of en.wikipedia.org on iPad 3 with Retina display

The collapse/show arrows used for Enhanced Recentchanges are low-resolution raster images and are visibly pixelated on a high-resolution display such as iPad 3rd-gen or when zoomed in.

Recommend replacing with SVG with PNG fallback.

This is a JS feature. It might be easier to do than some of the other images. If we can detect .svg support using JS then we can just make the image we use variable based on that.

While we're at it, perhaps that detection of .svg support should be something we code into a RL module that can be used in multiple paths of code.
