Convert all interface icons to support other resolutions

Open nuttyartist opened this issue 7 years ago • 6 comments

We need to convert all interface icons to other resolutions to support different displays resolutions. We mainly need to convert them to: 32x32, 16x16 and 12x12

(Are there other resolutions we should consider?)

I think that the most viable way is to use vector icons (e.g. SVG) instead of PNG, which will render the icons resolution-independent.

mm... that might be good. Can we do that in Qt? Can it show an .svg icon the same way as a .png? If so, I think for the simple icons, that might be a good approach, but for a bit more complex ones, maybe vector resizing may not look good or accurate and we should export them as different .png's.

Well I tried to use svg, but it didn't work well. As I think internally the svg is converted to png and do not look good.

@theshadowx ah, ok. Then, .png it is.

@nuttyartist maybe I've done something not correct, try to use from svg from your side and see if it working correctly.

@theshadowx Alrighty, I've changed the milestone to the Next Next Release because it would fit with supporting HiDipi issue on that milestone.

With the transition to font icons this issue can be closed now.
