Higher resolution UI assets?

Figured I'd open an issue in case anyone has any thoughts.

I have a 14" 1440p x1c 4th gen. When I load scap-workbench on Fedora 33, I notice a lot of blobby pixels in most of the icons. This is because they're all 16x16 and they're rendering in a space double the size (32x32).

I'm able to find direct replacements for the following assets from the tango project:

  • benchmark.png == edit-paste
  • edit-undo.png == edit-undo
  • edit-redo.png == edit-redo
  • group.png == folder
  • value.png == text-x-generic
  • rule.png == preferences-system

The following assets don't have direct replacements:

  • collapsed-arrow.png
  • expanded-arrow.png
  • profile.png

The two arrows are easy enough to recreate (Inkscape and create a quick triangle shape, matching color), but what about profile.png? Could it be replaced with something from tango like x-office-spreadsheet?

Old: profile

Suggested: x-office-spreadsheet

I can also remove the pichart like so: x-office-spreadsheet-edited

Lastly, what is everyone's preferences about size? I'd probably re-export at 64x64 or 128x128. I can directly use SVG assets as well (Tango provides such), but the issue is loading the customization takes a while if using SVGs. I'm not sure yet if 128x128 does the same; if it doesn't I'd prefer to go with that. Note that this only affects the source asset size, the file size in the GUI doesn't change.

Thoughts?
