When enlarged, many icons appear blurred and of low quality. This is likely due to their resolution not being updated and the small image being scaled instead. The issue started happening after upgrading from KDE 4.9.5 to 4.10.0. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: One case in which this can be seen is by setting a large icon size in Dolphin (such as 192). Actual Results: Icons are blurred because the original image is scaled instead of using the proper resolution for that size. Expected Results: Icons did not behave this way in 4.9.5 and should be scaled at the proper size. Here is a screenshot showing the problem: http://i45.tinypic.com/p7itj.png The upper one is from Dolphin, showing an image icon at size 192. The lower one is from Apper where the green shield icon has the same issue.
Got help with the problem on IRC and solved it. Apparently the packages oxygen-icon-theme-large and oxygen-icon-theme-scalable got uninstalled during my distribution upgrade (no idea why). Happened when upgrading from openSUSE 12.2 to 12.3. So if anyone else has this problem, make sure those two packages are installed and didn't get removed somehow.
