Description aapgorilla 2009-04-22 23:54:29 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

When non scalable icons are set "fixed" in icon.theme and the icons are set past the largerst size of the non-scalable icons present, they are used instead of the scalable icons present in the theme and they do not resize at all past the largest size

When non scalable icons are set "threshold" in icon.theme and the icons are set past the largerst size of the non-scalable icons present, they are used instead of the scalable icons present in the theme and they resize but get blurry eventhough scalable icons are present

(the see that this is  really a buf delete all the fixed size icons and only use the scalable icons and see the scaling does work, however many icons seem to be chosen from the parent them (when non-scalable variants are present?))

blurry oxygen icons at size 256

screenshot, blurry oxygen icons at size 256, eventhough the scalable icons in the set could handle this

Due to limitations of QSvg (features and performance), scalable icons are not used/loaded when PNG icons are present. A future version of KDE may include a better SVG renderer (maybe WebKit based), so that scalable icons can be loaded.

I can't reproduce this. From my testing, the icons in Dolphin look to be SVG. Can someone confirm this?

Comment 10 Christoph Cullmann 2024-05-01 20:50:38 UTC

Hi,

the KDE libaries and applications version 4.x are obsolete and got replaced
with Frameworks 5 and now 6 based variants that are still maintained.

The issue in this bug doesn't seem to happen for me with these versions.
