# Image

In atom-shell images are represented by their file paths, we currently do not
support in-memory images or remote images.

For example when creating tray or setting window's icon, you can pass image's
file path as `String` to represent an image:

```javascript
var appIcon = new Tray('/Users/somebody/images/icon@2x.png');
var window = new BrowserWindow({icon: '/Users/somebody/images/window.png'});
```

## Supported formats

Only `PNG` and `JPG` formats are supported, and `PNG` format is preferred.

## High resolution image

On platforms that have high-DPI support, you can append `@2x` after image's
file name's base name to mark it as a high resolution image.

For example if `icon.png` is a normal image that has standard resolution, the
`icon@2x.png` would be treated as a high resolution image that has double DPI
dense.
