Summary | 0014057: Icons look all blocky on a HiDPI screen | ||||

It makes sense about the icons, we're waiting on a fellow that will provide us the ability to scale them better. khaled, can you confirm that you see the same thing ? |
|
See http://lists.scribus.net/pipermail/scribus-dev/2016-May/003076.html, we need bigger PNG icons or SVG ones to fix this. No one answered my mail. |
|
Or do you mean the icons are bigger than usual? I can’t reproduce this. |
|
No, I think they are pretty ok size-wise. It's certainly the upscaling that makes things look off. Where can I find the, um, source for the icons? I can only find png's, and I'm guessing these are drawn in a vector editor. Do you know the name of the author of the icon set, so I can get in touch with him/her? |

khaled, I asked and Craig said that he just recently got in touch with the the icon guy, Deszo, who created the 1.5.1 iconset. He's been "off the radar" due to work but plans on taking a look at this in the next few days/weeks. It's unfortunate that it may not happen before 1.5.2 release but such is the ways of Opensource when projects depend on many different moving parts that are voluntary. Honestly, I'm surprised no one responded to you especially myself. I'm very thankful for you having the inspiration to want to tackle HiDPI and improving this for 1.5/1.6 and all the rest of the work you've done. I think on this issue the core devs and the testers don't own HiDPI hardware per se so IMO we're 'scratching our heads' figuring out what can be done. It's the same for other hardware issues like WACOM tablets and Macbookpro trackpads that have some serious useability issues but because jghali, craig, or franz don't own theses items... they don't get fixed. |
|
Well, I do have the hardware and I sent the patch, all they have to do is apply it. |
|
I'm happy to help Deszo out if he needs help with converting the size of the icons to twice the size if needed. |
|
andreasn1, thanks...we'll pass that on to Deszo and see what he says. Cheers |
