My 16x16px icon got scaled down to about 10px in the toolbar. What's the magic here?
I would like to be able to tell you why the icons are the size they are, but the icon drawing code we inherited from Sodipodi is scary and nobody quite understands it... :P
I'll CC the devel list in case perhaps the gtkmmification team has made any breakthroughs studying and/or rewriting that code.
Well.. I'm not sure what the others have seen, but I'm aware of the problem and of the approaches to pinpoint it. As part of a massive dive into the UI, the icons were somthing I was about to check. (Oh, and I've messed with our pixbuf loading in various places before so I know the GTK+ tech involved).
Also, being in charge of engineering for 3 years at a small multimedia shop got me good experience in tracking down these 'artwork tech details' jobs.
But then, that's only Phase I of my evil plan. After that, I plan to get <multiImage> implemented so that we have have different content for different resolutions. Tie that in with embedded bitmaps and SVG icons are suddenly *very* powerful.
