Tab icon no longer seen

Post by klownboy »

Hey Don, after beta v22.10.0007, I can no longer see one particular "tab" icon. The other tab icons are fine, but the one I've attached no longer is seen whereas it was before this beta.
My rename dialog box is PDFs|D:\Graphics\Icons\books_02.ico. I tried it with "PDFs|books_02.ico" as sell since my <xyicons> folder is "D:\Graphics\Icons". Must have something to do with that icon, but it was seen on that tab before the beta.

Ah yes, that icon is a bit weird (the smallest contained resource is 48x48). I'll make it work next beta.

I see that now in Info Panel preview. I should make that one in 16, 24 and 32.

Don, thanks for the update. That icon I attached in the original post is now displayed on the tab.

Before that change as I mentioned I made an icon from the original that included 16, 24, and 32 sizes. One thing I noted though and this may be as a result of the method used by XYplorer to display the larger icon size at a smaller size (16x16 from 48x48), the display of the icon seen on the tab is noticeably smaller when using the original icon (that had the smallest size of 48) than the new icon (attached) which includes the 16x16 size. Not a big deal. I just thought I'd pass it on. Thanks.

@klownboy and all others: Please put your Windows version and your screen resolution into your forum profile location info (e.g. Win10 @150%). That makes it a lot easier for me and saves me from asking the same questions over and over again.

I think that's a peculiarity of that particular icon resource. Not a bug.

Okay Don, sounds good. I suppose in any case, I should at least trying to use icons with a 16x16 icon resource size for my tabs and 24x24 for my "large" size toolbar such that resizing XY is not necessary. I assume XY would use those sizes directly when they're contained in the icon file.
