@Jens: thanks for sharing your thoughts and  inspiration.

I use Google Gin and switch Ginjectors based on a form factor property in my module XML so its basically the factory approach.

interface AppInjector extends Ginjector {
  App getApp();
}

@GinModule(DesktopModule.class)
interface DesktopAppInjector extends AppInjector {}

// just for illustration you can also use custom multi valued config properties of your *.gwt.xml file that contain full qualified class names of gin modules
@GinModules(value = { TabletModule.class }, properties = {"common.config", "tablet.config"})
interface TabletAppInjector extends AppInjector {}


Because you can not use GWT.create(AppInjector.class) to initialize GIN (because of the GinModule annotations being defined on sub interfaces) you need additional classes for deferred binding:

interface AppInjectorProvider {
  AppInjector get();
}

class DesktopAppInjectorProvider implements AppInjectorProvider {
  public AppInjector get() {
     return GWT.create(DesktopAppInjector.class);
  }
}

class TabletAppInjectorProvider implements AppInjectorProvider {
  public AppInjector get() {
     return GWT.create(TabletAppInjector.class);
  }
}


And finally the entry point

class AppEntryPoint implements EntryPoint {
  void onModuleLoad() {
    AppInjectorProvider injector = GWT.create(AppInjectorProvider.class);
    injector.get().getApp().start();
  }
}


With the code above I can pretty much configure everything inside gin modules. 

For high resolution images its a lot better to extend the ClientBundle mechanism. An example for retina images can be found at https://github.com/kDCYorke/RetinaImages

In general I would recommend using vector icons (e.g. "Font Awesome" or http://glyphicons.com/) so you don't need that retina image thing just for icons.
