Windows Scaling kills list icons?

I'm having an issue where, if the Windows scaling is set higher than 100%, the icons in the file list no longer show up in detail view. Icons in the file tree are still there, but over in the file list, the icons aren't shown. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround that I might be unaware of?
Thanks,
Brian

I should mention that this happens on Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 (not sure about other OS versions).

I switched to 125% view on Server 2012 R2 (server version of 8.1) and I don't experience any problems with the icons for the file lists in details view...

You're right! It looks like the issue actually had to do with loading an different XYPlorer configuration, rather than the scaling. Switching back to the default configuration restored the icons.
Anyone know if there's a config setting somewhere that would cause the icons to not show? I checked the settings area but everything looked right as far as what was enabled, but maybe I'm missing something.

You can turn off icons here: Tools | Customize List | Show Icons
Maybe that caused it?

No, that wasn't it. The config that I copied over also had the icons turned on. The only difference was that new system had Windows scaling turned on, which is why I thought it was related to scaling (like maybe the icon became 'too big'). But as I said, reverting to default config and then manually changing the settings did maintain the icons. So I'm not sure what the difference might have been with simply copying the config settings that made the icons disappear.
