defaultSourceDPIInt in the default theme.css of CodenameOne

In the new Codename One bare-bones project (https://start.codenameone.com/), there is a default theme.css that starts with:

#Constants {
    includeNativeBool: true;
    defaultSourceDPIInt: "0";
}

What is defaultSourceDPIInt: "0";? I couldn't find anything in the blog about this.

Solution

  • It's discussed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/cn1/comments/p0utte/defaultsourcedpiint_css_theme_constant_can_make/

    The defaultSourceDPIInt constant which you can use as:

    #Constants {
    /* ... */
     defaultSourceDPIInt: 0; 
}

    Sets the default DPI of images you use in the theme. This is very important as the default is the creation of multi images. With 0 we're essentially importing all images as regular images by default which means you need to explicitly state the source DPI to prevent mistakes.
